Absorption Resin

[afriend]

Kent Marine produces a product called "Expert Series Organics Adsorption Resin". They claim that it will remove organic pollutants, stain, and entrained toxic gases, and thus provide a pure environment in marine and freshwter aquariums. I have not used this product and was wondering if anyone else has any experience with it. I am particularly interested in the ability to remove organic pollutants since I have a show tank with a gravel substrate. I do all the usual things to reduce the organic load: 35% daily water change, regular tank maintaince including filter cleaning, and I am very careful not to overfeed my fish. Will it actually improve the condition of the water? Does the product actually remove organic pollutants, and are there any unwanted side effects? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
