No practical experience myself and my intuition told me "snake oil" until I saw Hawk's tank in Terrace, it was 2 or 3 years ago that I saw it, it was running Miracle Mud only, no skimmer, and growing beautiful sps and clams. It was the nicest reef tank I have ever seen in person. I don't think he is around on this board any more though.

The consensus on RC was it was bunk, testing showed nothing spectacular and even a few things potentially harmful. But as everything in this trade some people swear by it and some don't

I've been running mud in my refugium for at least 5 years, I don't have it set up exactly like the Miracle system and I do use skimmers. (2 in fact)
I don't dose trace elements, I figure my water changes cover it. I grow mangroves and they really like it, cheato grows like crazy and there are tons of bugs and worms. I don't believe that it is the magic solution with no skimming or supplements. When I started in this hobby I found there wasn't one cut and dried method to reefkeeping and I tried to combine parts I liked from different methods. I have no idea if it is any better than any other mud, I really doubt there is a magic ingredient that justifies the price but it seems to works for me so I stuck with it. Just my 2 cents
