Reef Ramblings

People often ask, “Is the Miracle Mud system proven?” or, “Does the Miracle Mud system really work?” The answer is a definite, “Yes!”

This brief article is intended to give you a glimpse at just a few of the successful reef aquaria around the world that run on EcoSystem Miracle Mud.

First off it has to be the reef belonging to Leng Sy, the inventor of the Miracle Mud system. These photos were taken a few years back when I visited EcoSystem in California. Leng referred to this as a ‘Soft coral and angelfishes’ display, remarkably it featured a pair of adult Emperor Angels, alongside a number of other exotic angelfish species.

The second aquarium using Miracle Mud is one of my own. I’ve included it because this is the aquarium where I experienced a soft coral reproducing through sexual reproduction. The species in question is a Briarium species, commonly referred to as ‘Star polyps’. Spawning has taken place irregularly over the years and on at least one occasion the planula larvae have successfully settled creating new corals.

Stay tuned to this station …

Miracle Mud from EcoSystem Aquarium is now available exclusively through EcoSystem Aquarium UK, a partnership between Midland Reefs and EcoSystem Aquarium US, formed to distribute the EcoSystem Aquarium / Miracle Mud range in the UK.

With the world famous EcoSystem Miracle Mud Method, keeping marine aquariums or reef aquariums is SUCCESS MADE SIMPLE!

Miracle Mud is the original refugium mud substrate developed by Leng Sy in late 1989. Miracle Mud is comprised of up to 80% oceanic mud, harvested from deep ocean water and then dried on land. The remaining 20% is a formulation of minerals and trace elements that make Miracle Mud a true MIRACLE.

• Miracle Mud continuously replenishes the mineral and trace element concentration in the aquarium, making this the most comprehensive filter medium available.
• Miracle Mud is the most efficient denitrifying filter medium for the money. While other comparable products require a minimum 6-inch deep sand bed for denitrification to occur, you will need only 1 inch of Miracle Mud, making it the least expensive filtration medium available today!
• Miracle Mud reverses Hole-in-the-Head disease!
• Miracle Mud helps maintain the vibrant coloration of corals, invertebrates and fishes in the reef aquarium!
• Not only is the EcoSystem Miracle Mud filter an efficient denitrifying and stand–alone unit (no protein skimmer required), it is also the most comprehensive filtration system on the market!

A larger range of EcoSystem Aquarium products is now available in the UK. This includes a range of supplements and additives formulated in Germany by EcoSystem Europe, such as the ECO Balling Method Calcium A, B and C, an efficient, easy to use method of maintaining consistent levels of calcium, magnesium, carbonates and trace elements in the reef system. Provides a readily available source of calcium carbonate for corals and other invertebrates in the system.

• Developed by dedicated German reef hobbyists/scientists
• Maintains consistent levels of calcium, magnesium, alkalinity, essential minerals and trace elements for the corals
