Miracle Mud Info
Place appropriate amount of Miracle Mud into
Chamber # 2 of the EcoSystem Aquarium filter. (See chart Below)
Pour water into the filter and let Miracle Mud settle to the bottom.
(Approximately 2-3 hours).
After Miracle Mud has settled, remove any floating particles.
Turn on pump at a recommended flow rate as shown in table below.
Allow water to completely cycle through filter (6-8 weeks for new
aquariums or until ammonia levels are undetectable). Add caulerpa
algae during second week of cycling.
After cycling period, quarantined fishes and corals may be
introduced into the aquarium.
To continue successful maintenance of your marine aquarium system,
it is recommended that you add or exchange an appropriate amount of
Miracle Mud@ (50%) every two years. To ensure that this replacement
process will not disturb your aquarium inhabitants, the usage of an
add-on filter is highly recommended. *For existing system - Addition
of Ecosystem Filter provides benefits. Smooth transition is
recommended to prevent shock to fish and corals.
