Hello All,
Am a little confused after reading all that I can find on ecotanks and reef tanks.
We have the understanding that an ecosystem tank can be set up using 'miracle mud' and live sand. This would be used to feed/ biologically filter the main tank where anemones, corals and creatures would live. This could then be chemically filtered using a HOB filter and a flow added along with high intensity lighting.
Also is it possible to use a single tank where an overly deep bottom of mud and sand mixture can be used as an ecosystem?
Will this setup be ok in your opinion and do I still need to use salt as I am going to be using an eco system with miracle mud?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
