Comments: This system is great. I have been keeping a healthy 70gl reef tank for two years with no problems. Refugium is the way to go. Although it works great, the price is insanely to high. You can achieve the same goals using a 30gl tank at a fraction of the cost. Or whatever size you want. Just get some aquarium silicone and cut some plastic and you have the same thing. As for the miracle mud, I believe it is a must. Didn't experiment with other types of substrate but trace elements have always been good. Just can't help but think it's because of the mud. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

It's ok. by ANGEL CORUJO

Comments: We have the 3616 model for 2 years now. We did the 50 % miracle mud change. However, our tank has been failing as of late. Despite us adding a UV Sterilizer and in sump protein skimmer. We have had alge blooms, fish dying, invertibrates dying and leather corals decaying in our tank. Note that we have minimal argonite in our tank and over 50 Lbs of live rock in our 210 gallon tank. Our advisor at the aquarium said, " take out the miracle mud and use argonite in place of the miracle mud". I think that we just waisted tons of cash with this eco system. We are in the process of redoing our salt water reef tank without the miracle mud. In my opinion. A total waste of coin. I would not recommend this product to my friends.
