Do you mean plumbing multiple small tanks into a single sump? Yeah, thats fine. It just carries some risk of disease outbreak between tanks. Thats the same way lfs do it.Would you think a sump would be ok for someone with multiple tanks, rather than just a large tank, if that makes sense.......
I've heard of miracle mud crashing a number of reef tanks. Never heard of it being used in fresh.I've seen some larger freshwater tanks that use a refugium. There is some kind of propriety substrate called "Miracle Mud" that is supposed to support the growth of the nitrate consuming bacteria. I think it also helped replace the trace minerals that most people forget about.
The tanks I saw also had floating plants growing in it.
One guy had a fairly heavily stocked discus tank and claimed he only had to do two PWCs a year. I'm a big believer in water changes though, so I'm a bit leery about going that long myself.
It all seemed like overkill to me... But the cool kind. I may research it further if/when I set up a large tank.
