miracle mud

I have had good growth in a seagrass tank using mixed Caribsea Mineral Mud/sugar sand. I don't think Miracle Mud is worth the ridiculous price tag.

Neither is the ridiculous price of FW laterite! Love those expensive niche products.

I used miracle mud once in a small fuge for growing caulerpa, it worked ok but regular aragonite worked just as well so it was not worth the price tag.

Take a look at this large tank from a article on reefbuilders.com ( near the end of the first youtube video) that uses miracle mud.:

Quite impressive results from just using mud in the sump especially with the amount of fish and so little fancy equipment.

From what I read, the mud provides minerals as well as the bacteria that should be replenished even couple of years.
