I have quite a bit with it. I have used the Fiji mud and miracle mud. I personally like the Fiji stuff better because I think it lasts longer and it comes wet rather than dry. I have noticed improvements in coloration and general happiness of corals since I started using it a few years back.
 
Julian Sprung indicates that it's helpful, needs to be changed out in phases, about a quarter per year. I haven't used it, just repeating his comments.
 
I have been running the ecosystems mud in my system for over a year. I've been very happy with my coral colors, growth and fish health.

Before my water even hits my fuge it spends some time with a large skimmer.

I started using it back in the late 90's when it first came out with great success also.

Firm believer here!!
 
I use it on a large seahorse system and It works great also has mangrooves. Personally its not really a fuge but I firmly believe it helps. Just change 1/4-1/2 every year and it works well.
 
IMHO some tests reported hat it is sand with a little higher iron content.

The key is the macro algaes that grow in the refugium.

Not this sand.

So I just use common play sand and macro algaes.

I did also does some iron to help the macros as well.

It would not add nitrates to your system if you added it. I've been using the ecosystem for over 5 years with great success. I've used mud only systems and skimmer/mud systems. Both work great. I've never had nitrates with an ecosystem no matter the bioload. You still need to run GFO or PO4x4. The most important factors is surface area of mud and flow over the mud. Give Leng a call. He is very helpful and willing to help anyone. If you have any questions on footprint of fuge and flow just let me know.
