This past weeekend at the BayMAC event we were fortunate enough to get some face time with EcoSystem Aquarium creator Leng Sy who among other things, told us about a fabulous German reef aquarium using Miracle Mud. The EcoSystem aquarium of Markus Resch is an exemplary slice of reef with more corals and diversity than you can shake a frag at. This EcoSystem aquarium exhibits such tight nutrient cycling that Markus intentionally adds ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) to his tank on a daily basis to keep his corals from bleaching even though his tank is filled with invertebrates and highly active anthias fish which he feeds on a constant basis. The prolific growth of this truly mixed reef aquarium is so rampant that Markus harvests between 50-100 frags each month just to keep the growth in check. Follow the break for the video interview of Markus Resch by Scott Michael with commentary from Leng Sy and a lot more footage of this epic reef.
