It sounds to me like a basic anoxic medium for bacteria growth.
Because of the slow, poor ciculation through the medium the
bacteria have to use the NO3- as an oxygen source. I don't know
about what else they claim but I can tell you now they don't offer
anything you can't creat in a normal tank.

This will be my last submission for a while. I'm going on studyleave
till next year. So, in the mean time have a happy Xmas, new year
etc... And happy rainbow keeping!

Bye for now
