Carbon Tube Filtration System. Reality or Myth?

Hi All,

I'm a newbie thus fishing around for more info at
About.com/Sal****er-Aquarium section when I stumbled on this article:

DIY Carbon Tube Filtration System

By combining Hiatt's Tri-Based Pelletized Carbon (TBPC) and Right Now
Bacteria (RN) in a closed filtration system, you can cycle a tank in
24Hrs and not to worry about Nitrate because this filtration system is
also acts as a Denitrator. That is somewhat the claim from About.com.

Here is the link to About.com on the article

Has anyone tried this approach? If so, then can you please share your
experience (good or bad)? I'm about to setup a new sal****er tank
(FO) thus any info would greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
ND
