refuge mineral mud - Aquarium Advice

whitetiprs · 09-09-2005, 09:43 PM

So I'm building a new stand to replace the one that is rotting away on my 46 [acronym:a537da4089="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:a537da4089] reef tank and in the process I'm upgrading my sump/fuge from a 15gal to a 29 [acronym:a537da4089="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:a537da4089] tank. I was at the [acronym:a537da4089="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:a537da4089] and bought some mineral mud to add to my sand I already have. Has anyone ever used this stuff before?
I was thinking about putting a base of sand down then sandwich the mineral mud between another layer of sand. Is this a good idea? Im hoping this will make my mangroves survive alittle longer.
