Are you dosing vodka?

Nerdist Aquarist - 6 years ago

+Alex Nguyen No. The macro algae in my refugium was doing such a great job I didn't need any additional nitrate/phosphate reduction.

TOM REEFMAN202 - 6 years ago

Still still thriving?

Nerdist Aquarist - 6 years ago

+TOM REEFMAN202 Wish I could say so. Unfortunately the tank did not survive power outage due to a hurricane.

Looks like miracle mud is making a comeback! Been using it for over 25 years . And yes it's amazing!

FADETOBLACK - 7 years ago

Very nice one of the better videos . I have a video on the mud as well for fresh water this stuff is great!

Ellery Wong - 7 years ago

Great to hear I want to try it out just as a trace element source so I don't have to keep dosing. I already have very low nitrates and PO4 already.

ekong85 - 8 years ago

curious how your sump is set up.

Nerdist Aquarist - 8 years ago

+ekong85 I covered the design in videos #8, #9 and #10.

katchupoy01 - 8 years ago

Subbed. Reefer from Seattle.

KISS approach, i like that. Just always watch your parameters. Since you removed your skimmer, your wiggle room for errors are smaller. I used to run my 75g without skimmers for years, and then in 2010, i had an bacterial bloom and almost wiped out all my inhabitants. Boils down to over feeding. And I was stop testing my params a long long time ago.

Congrats on a beautiful tank.

mitian - 8 years ago

Nice tank, nice video, Nice that is working for you so keep doing what you are doing... I wouldn't dare to be without skimmer... Good Luck...

+Chizzo's Reef I appreciate that!

Dee From Brooklyn - 8 years ago

beautiful tank. . did the tank go through that cyano bloom after adding the miracle mud or have you run it from day 1.?

Dee From Brooklyn - 8 years ago

+Nerdist Aquarist i had that first algae bloom until i started culling the Cheato on a regular. .

Nerdist Aquarist - 8 years ago

I had a deep sand bed in the sump before, nothing negative at all happened when it was swapped with the miracle mud.
