I had a rio 2500 that I was mixing water with. I took a dump in my water bucket. It smelled like burnt rubber and there was black oily stuff on the walls and floating. Luckily it was not in my tank.
It says that the mud provides trace elements and keeps nitrates down. That dosing with a bunch of suplements would not be necesary anymore. Just your calcium buffer. So you think sand would do the trick ??
Im trying to decide what is better to put in my new refugium. Miracle mud $60 or Mineral mud for $20. The description on the back seems very similar. Let me know your expieriences on either. Thank you in advance.
