I use mud in my fug pods seem to like it but I have the mud in Tupperware containers and not covering the whole bottom. It's to make cleanup easier

Nope, not in my tank.
Lots of live rock. He uses the Berlin method. Research it. I use a modified version and it has worked very well for me.

I saw miracle mud sells a "brick"so it can be removed but it is over $50 I just want to be sure it will work before I spend it on something that is not worth it

Not a fan personally after trying it myself a few years ago.
