When used with good protein skimming, it is a very effective method of controlling nitrate and (sometimes) phosphate in the marine aquarium. Protein skimming must be used as it exports the bacteria that the added carbon allows to grow and in the process exports the nutrients.

TMZ's thread is a good place to get the skinny on it.
