ive used the system for 5 years now, it works good for lps or softies, i wouldn’t try it with sps. don’t believe half the hype from eco systems, i run mine with cheato, micro bag, carbon and a calcium reactor. it does work well but you need to step up your maintance schedule without a skimmer.

I use the MM in my sump on my 230g and have been for about a year and a half. Like Willow I don't believe half the stuff they claim and I run it with carbon, a phosban reactor, calcium reactor and ASM G4X skimmer. I haven't really had any problems with this tank with the exception of heat. I do have SPS (some) and clams in this tank.

perfect thanks well from what you guys have said and from what i have heard form other people, i dont see the benefits vs the price as beeing worth it. so i think i will just go with a crushed coral refuge bottom.

oh i belive in mm dont get me wrong, it has lots of benifits and i do get lots of macro algae growth. persoanly thats all i would run in a fuge. all im saying is don't belive some of the claims eco makes, they claim you dont even have to supplement calcium with it
