miracle mud doesnt account for the nitrates and phosphates that your sand bed absorbs, when doing a water change, just pulling out water isnt the most important part, using a vaccum and sucking out all the detrius is very important, using something to blast the crud of your rocks and allowing your skimmer to pull it out, or manually removing it with the vac will help too, ive read alot of good things about the miracle mud but i still wouldnt risk my investment on it, you have a TON of money invested in your tank and corals right? do you really want to trust that to a 50$ bag of dirt?
