I would like to check the accuracy of some information I have recently been told.
Is it true that by placing Fiji mud under live sand in a main display tank of a reef set up, that you will not have to worry about stirring up the sand because the mud will keep detrimental algae from growing and toxic materials from building up?
Which actually leads to another question. If you have a refugium with a good amount of Fiji mud on the bottom or do you have to stir the mud to keep toxic materials from building up? Is the mud naturally able to resist the build up of toxic materials?
One last question, does Fiji mud loose its effectiveness over time and need to be changed?
Its sounds possible and would be worth the extra cost if its true.
I am currently planning my dream tank and I'm taking things very slowly. Any info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dusty
