If you read the entire article you will see that the author doesn't think its a good idea, or even necessary.

He is a proponent of deep sand beds though, I think his is 8 inches deep, crazy.

be very cautious guys, I suggest its better to err on the low side that means, dose a bit, observe, then dose a tiny bit more, observe again. don't believe in the figures you read. every tank has its own bacteria colony and strains. anyone can just put one number X ml/Gallon on whatever. but if something happens to your tank, its ultimately you who will bear the loss.

in theory, this is actually quite a good way to lower nitrates.

I lost my tank once because of this experiment. the water turned into white milk. even after 100% water change, it didn't help. but then again I was very new to the hobby, anyhow whack. so yeps, be careful. I believe it works but proceed with caution.
