Helps maintain a balanced nutrient-limited marine aquarium by enabling the hobbyist to enhance the rate of microbial growth and reproduction, increasing the rate of phosphate-reduction and denitrification; this of particular benefit in heavily-stocked, well-fed reef aquaria
Replaces "vodka method" of microbial activity-enhancement with a completely safe and biologically-sound, non-flammable alternative to using vodka or ethanol
Indirectly benefits corals and other suspension-feeding invertebrates by encouraging reproduction of bacterioplankton (an important food source for suspension-feeding invertebrates)
Encourages polyp-expansion in all corals
May be used to help expedite biological filtration in new set-ups
