In short, it should help clear detritus slightly and prevent bacteria that are involved with RTN. Bob Stark has proven this concept with his mixed reef, I'd like to apply it to a SPS focused tank and see what happens.
Hey Shark bait. The sharks are circling!
Don't get scared away.
I am honestly curious to see how your system does.
Please keep us posted.
