I think it does the opposite. The bacteria it produces will consume nitrates normally consmed by the algae that make up phytoplankton(green water) as well as filamentous(hair) algaes. This nitrate taken up by the bacteria is in theory then consumed by corals or more easily exported by the skimmer. This is one of the outcomes those who use it seek.
