SRC Member Ahhyi Posted January 1, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted January 1, 2014 what is the diff between miricle mud and normal sand? Many reefer told me there is not much diff. I've been reading. Seems like some pple swear by it. And some pple just wouldn't touch it. It's just like buying bottles mineral water some say its better. Some say it's just glorified tap water.

Mokyc Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Agree. I only use normal marine substrate and my refugium flourished. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blesson87 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Just my 2 cents here, i used a DSB of 7 inches made of fine LS. It worked like a charm on nitrates. I didnt even have macro algae at the time. The visual confirmation that your DSB is working is you will start to notice formation of nitrogen bubbles in your DSB. Thats when you know its denitrifying. For phosphates i feel GFO and macroalgae is best.

SRC Member reeflex Posted May 28, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted May 28, 2014 pitto, if you are gunning for sps, bio pallets/rowa phos are highly effective. If you prefer refug, then go for dsb. I have a good read on this, if you want can lend it to you. cheers Can you guide me to read the article? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black tank Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I prefer GFO as they are easier to maintain by changing very 2-3 mths. However, refrigium may get messy for prolong period n u get other unwant algae growing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
