    Calling all Mud(filter) dogs

    I am looking at several different types of filters, sumps, refugiums etc. One that I like so far is a refugium with a mud filter. Does anyone use them? What are the pros and cons of the mud filter? Are they difficult to maintain? Thanks folks!!

    Refugium/Quarantine

    Coral EMERGENCY!!!

    I can remove it. I think I am going to try to frag it today when I get home. I hope I can at least save some part of it. What does the iodine do?

    pH too High??

    Can your pH get too high? Mine reads 8.7+ on my test kit. :notsure: I don't know how to get it down and I think my corals are stressed. This is the only parameter that is out of whack. Ca=450 PO4=0 Amm, Nitrite, Nitrate=0 Fe is low too but I don't know how important it is to have iron. Any...
