After awhile the large pieces go to the top and the small pieces to the bottom. It looks more like little boulders or round bits of gravel instead of like mud. I didn't like it the first time I filled a tank but it always looks better after a few days and continues to settle over the next month. The only problem with it is that it shifts so much you can't setup a sloped tank. It works itself even over a few months unless you block it with wood or rocks.
