let us know how it works for you. I think plain sand or argonite is not going to do you any better than the depleated mud you currently have.

plain aragonite doesn't have the siltyness of the mud which is really annoying if it gets into the water column, it just gets everywhere...main tank, caninster filter

I used Kent Biosediment in a section of my refugium where I planted a Mangrove tree. I did an experiement (small scale) I had two Mangrove seeds, I planted one in the Kent Biosediment and one in regular old Aragonite. The one in the Biosediment is twice as big and looks much healthier than the one in the Aragonite (fine grain). This 'experiment' may not mean much I only used two seeds but the seeds are only planted 10 inches away from each other w/ equal water flow and light.

Just My experiences

I'm trying an experiment with MM.. I am running it in my fuge/ with out changing it. I did not want to disturbe the pods, which are many.. Then I run some in my canister filter and change that out every couple of months.. I have a 30 cube with out a skimmer. All my coral are growing at a very rapid rate. Tank has been set up for all most a year. see tank in my gallery.

Should have planted at least 2 seeds in each side. One seed could be healthier than the other to start. A little less likely that both seeds on one side would start out heathier than both seeds on the other side.

I am thinking of setting up a experimental fuge set up with 3 sections of sediment seperated with dividers. then putting it under the same light and water. putting MM in one section and kent biosediment in one and argonite in another. and see how they compare with algae growth. but to be fair I might have to have three seperate fuges to keep suplements from one from leaching over to help out the one next to it.

wow, beautiful tank Victoria



I actually used to go to Leng Sy's store in Irvine, CA and look at all his MM tanks...it was quite interesting. I bought my tank directly from him also. This was before he moved locations and started hiring people to work for him.
