MIRACLE MUD FILTERS |
ALL THE WORKINGS OF A GREAT FILTER WITHOUT THE STRESS
DUE TO THE ENORMOUS INTEREST IN RECENT TIMES ,WITH NEW REPORTS COMING OUT ALL THE TIME WE DECIDED TO DEVELOPED OUR OWN MIRACLE MUD FILTERS.WE HAVE BEEN USING A MIRACLE MUD FILTER FOR OVER 3 YEARS AND HAVE HAD GREAT RESULTS WITH THIS STYLE OF FILTRATION.ONE OF IT'S MAIN ATTRIBUTES IS THERE IS VERY LITTLE MAINTENACE INVOLVED UNLIKE SOME TYPES OF FILTRATION.WATER CHANGES ARE PERFORMED ONCE PER MONTH AND CAULERPA GROWN IN THE SUMP UNDER 24 HOUR LIGHTING HELPS TO KEEP DOWN NITRATES & PHOSPHATES ,NATURALLY AT THE SAME TIME OXYGENATING THE WATER.THE IDEA OF THE MIRACLE MUD IS TO BREAK DOWN SLOWLY AND SO RELEASE INTO THE WATER THE TRACE ELEMENTS THAT ARE BEING USED UP AS WELL AS PROVIDING SOME AREA FOR DE-NITRIFING BACTERIA TO LIVE & BREAK DOWN NITRATE.BIO BALLS ARE ALSO USED TO PROVIDE AREAS FOR NITRIFING BACTERIA TO BREAK DOWN AMMONIA & NITRITE.THE WHOLE EMPHASIS IS ON A NATURAL SYSTEM SO LIVING ROCK MUST ALSO BE USED IN THE MAIN AQUARIUM,THIS ALSO HELPS WITH THE FILTRATION OF THE WATER.
APPROXIMATERLY 50% OF THE MUD IS REPLACD EVERY 2 YEAR'S TO REPLACE ESSETIAL ELEMENTS
