I used it when I first set up my tank. Lots of live stuff in it, no issues here.

I got some when setting up my refugium, frankly I tought it was just a bunch of decomposing mud from cleaning their rock curing baths. In my case I feel it just extended the cycle as it had to cure all the dead stuff in it.
IMO live rock alone has more than enough of the stuff needed.

I personally have not used any of Garf's item but the person I bought my tank from used grunge and spoke very highly of it and recommended I use it as well. I looked into it but it was too expensive for me. He also bought his CUC from them and would replenish his CUC each year by ordering from Garf.
