I have had Walt Smith Fiji mud in my sump for about a year and a half, since I set up my latest system. The sump has a central compartment that contains it nicely, and all flow through the sump passes over the mud. I had been running lights over it and had chaeto in there, too, for a refugium. However, I removed the lights six or eight months ago and the chaeto died off.
I will be getting a new in-sump skimmer (Bubble King Mini 180), and the only place it will fit in the sump is in that central section. I had been planning to remove the mud so that the skimmer sits flat on the bottom of the sump.
Here's the questions:
Was that mud really doing anything for me, what with no lights, chaeto, etc.? Would it be worth salvaging it and trying to locate it in the sump somewhere else? Or is mud really just snake oil?
Thanks for your thoughts on the matter.
