hi bros,
i have aquabee 5000 and ehiem 1262 if any bros know where can i get needle wheel impeller for any one of the pumps it would be great help for my ATI skimmer repair thanks in advance guys
i have used miracle mud for 2 years without skimmer but only small fishes (no tangs) and tank full of corals there are some advantages in miracle mud your corals are very stable esp LPS u can buy not so healthy lps corals for cheap and throw in to your tank they come back in full glory
cons of this system is your (1) sps is not so colorful
(2) Cant keep tangs or big fishes
(3) water is not crystal clear .
(4) It takes a while to mature refugium ( it took 3 -4 months for my tank)
(5) Its not that cheap ( At least for me )
pros (1) you can keep difficult to keep zoos
(2) you can keep goni's (i had 7 colonies of different color and they do grow)
(3) You can keep difficult to keep fishes which need live feeds( i had mating pair mandrai and copper band for 2 years ++ until upgrade to 5 feet).
(4) ORP readings are very high than skimmer only tanks (may be due to 24/7 lighting on refugium)
(5) No need to dose iodine and iron i tested those they stay high for the whole fist year.
(6) You can go a week trip to overseas and come back to see all your fishes and corals alive.
End of the day if u like zoos and lps corals and not in to sps & fishes then this is easiest way to keep and maintain lps tanks i dont recommend for sps keepers
And for some reasons when i managed to buy a good skimmer and start using it miracle mud is not that effective as before but sps and rbta loves it.
just sharing my experience
