i was thinking of buying these nitra cubes for my new tank apperently they work?
and how do you use them? in a bag in your sump?

As per @KillerWhale there need to be air for the bacteria growing on the cubes to multiply, more air, how more sufficient the cubes become, less air then the cubes only works 20% off there true potential. I run 4.5L cubes with two large air stones the size off my hand palm with great results...I personally don't think the airstone is even necessary. I'm getting fast and fabulous results with them just sitting in a slowish flow.

I don't see the point of allowing nutrient-laden die-off to end up in the water column where the skimmer can only get to a fraction of it.
True - but I have mostly photosynthetic softies.
An air stone is a must, for various reasons
@KillerWhaleWhat are these "various reasons"?
