Does Dr. Tim's Waste-Away work?

I bought this at RAP:

Has anyone used this? What do you think?

It will not wash windows or perform miracles.

What is it that you expect from it? :):p

It's supposed to get rid of gunk in the tank, keep it cleaner and reduce nitrates and phosphates a little. The Dr. Tim's guy swore by it, but, well, he works at Dr. Tim's.

I used it when I had cyano and it worked great. It does help some but I don't feel I need to use it with a good water change routine. But it doesn't hurt either.

It's a bacteria additive so it should help with lowering nitrates but it's only bacteria so it's not going to do anything out of the ordinary or special.
