any one know about this stuff? and i think this board could use another forum about products/additives/and proper use and even test/research them in bad case scenario and then we could get a better even more reliable info and just ask a question and only the moderator and people/aquariust of his choosing answer those questions just an idea what do you think? tobin ***)

I added it to my refugium on my reef tank about 9mo ago and I dont have any complaints. You do need to watch the water flow around it in the early days cause it will cloud up a tank if disturbed.

can you plant plants in it, or is that more suited for ls?

miracle mud is the best stuff out there. a little expensive, but well worth the money. you can plant in it with no problem.

so what plants are the best for what i want to do?

my understanding is cheatomorpha (sp?) is preffered. it doesnt go sexual as easy and eats up the nitrates well.

Grow some mini mangroves in it to remove nitrates =)
