Let’s Try Something New in My Reef Tank: $50 Worth of Dirt!

I don’t get a lot of time to tune in to live streams and recently in what little chance I have had to listen, the talk has been of Miracle Mud. This stuff has been around for a couple of decades and there must be something to it because it has inspired some knock-offs in recent years. EcoSystem Miracle Mud is the “real thing” and after hearing rave reviews recently, I decided to try some. I’m looking for polyp extension in my acros. They’re colourful, healthy, and growing.....but I’ve seen very little polyp extension, which means they can’t augment photosynthesis by actively feeding. So I figure if I can get those polyps out and waving, it’ll just be healthier for the corals.

This stuff is expensive - $300+ to stock my system with the recommended amount! AND it’s recommended to swap out 50% of it annually! Yikes. So, let’s see how far I get with the small amount I bought to try it. This is one of those cases where you can’t find out how it will do in your tank unless you try it, but you have to spend the $$ to try it and what if it doesn’t work? 🤔
