I have also read it helps cut down the cycle time but i haven't built enough systems to prove that out.

Btw where did you get the miracle mud? Is there a local supplier that carries it? I don't recall ever seeing in any of the LFS
Thanks Rob, I got the Miracle mud from my fish guy Mike of Aqua Sculpture (aquariumservicestoronto). I believe he special ordered it for me. I'll ask him about the source.
