Anyone using CaribSea Araga-Mud substrate?

[Dave Legacy]

Anyone using CaribSea Araga-Mud substrate? I'm thinking about buying 120lbs of the stuff, but I've never seen it in person. CaribSea describes it as Araganite w/Iron enriched powder. I was wondering if it is just like the other fine sand araganites or if it's actually has a mud texture.

Can anyone clarify this for me? Maybe give me a little review of what you think of it?

Thanks,
Dave

Yep, that's what I've got. It really is more sandy than muddy, and is a slightly bigger granule than their sugar-sized stuff. Me very happy with it...

This was my suspicion, which is excellent. What about the grey chunks? Did those come in the bag or is that LR rubble?

I have 10 pounds of MineralMud in my sump, my mangroves are shooting out of the tank! The MineralMud is a lot more of a silty texture, that when settled, is a great base for marine plants. TinMan
