ALGAE PROBLEM? ..Use Instant Mud

[juscool]

Hi,

I was just in Tampines Mall and I normally drop by the aqauarium shop to have a look around. I was curious and ask the owner how he keeps the tanks so clean without the need to clean for algae? I noticed some turbo snails, but its impossible to keep the edges algae free.

He disclosed that he uses a prodcut called INSTANT MUD by Aquafarm. It supposedly keeps the phrospate levels low and he says he HARDLY cleans his tank. I could ignore his sales pitch, but the tanks speaks for themselves. The nono glass seems crystal clear.

I concerned what something like this will affect invertibrates and soft corals.

Any reefers with experience with this product? Good or Bad?

Emm... went to the site. Not very sure if it's very useful... basically it does nothing except removing phosphate, which a lot of other products do... I am having algae problem too, but thinking of using the natural way of dealing with it (getting more cleaning crews).

Do a review on it if you are to try it in the end.

Good luck.

I have tried instant mud..... well did not solve my algae problem..... it made no impact on my tank and I decide not to use it.

The owner sure knows how to flower hor.
