I did not drop the mud in one shot in front of a pump as the test clump fell undissolved on a coral below. I rather lowered the spoon under water in front of the pump and used my finger to swirl the mud inside the spoon. After about 30 seconds, all the mud was dissolved and my tank water became very cloudy.

After an hour, water had clear about 90%. Two hours later, tank water was crystal clear again.

No immediate bad ( nor good ) reaction from either corals or fish or other animals.

I used about 7 ml in my 25 gallon cube. I have a heavily stocked mixed tank.

Thank you 120reefer for your answers although they are more concerned about the objectif of the mud than the science behind it.

I will continue to drop mud once a week in my tank and let you know if I witness any reactions good or bad.
