Anyone Use Eco Mud System

i am thinking of putting some eco mud into my refugium along with my cheato, i wondered if anyone else is using this method and any pro's or con's. i will also still run my cal reactor and protein skimmer. my 100 gal display tank has appx 4" sand bed.
my goal is to get my nitrates lowered.

Wouldn't hurt to try. Do some research on Leng Sy and his husbandry/methods..

I like the Eco system method better then most and have found it to work well.

according to Leng Sy he reccomends for 100-135 gallon tank 36x12x18 filter box with 30lbs of mud and a flow rate of 1000-1200 gph.
