Bought it @ ML, come in a 130 grams container.

I went to RC website but couldn't find any info on this new product, even the Aquapharm website doesn't list this new product. Was just wondering if anyone has use it to good results.

Aiyah see the numbers of empty bottles lying around ML and you will know it is a product that Henry believes and uses for his display.

I used it too, not much effects on stony. But Zoanthids seems to like it, color up and open bigger!

I am on my second bottle now. My frogspawn seen to like it. Dont seen to have any effect on my califlower and Sea fan.

However, my phosphate is still zero even though my biophos is 2 - 3 months old. I have 18 fishes in total (4 tangs)

I am not using the recommended dosage. I just use 1 teaspoon everyday for my 250 gallon tank.

I have seen my fishes taking bites of it thinking that it was food. Btw those fishes are still alive.

I have been dosing for over two months now. How sure are you that it kills your LS?

I have a few muchrooms rocks in my tank and they are doing very well. I cant really tie it to Instant Mud because I cant see any visible differences.

They are going at 12+ a bottle.

[Gouldian]

I feel that my Zoanthids are the ones that show significant difference.

I have two rock of Zoanthids for 1yr liao and after I dose they started to show vibrant colours.

So for me, I will continue to dose but will noy loose a sweat over it. ;-)

Sounds like koi pond where you use the clay/mud to improve the color of the koi.
