I have been following the very large thread on RC, and there have been people who have experienced drops in nitrates, and a few people here on CanReef have gotten posative results as well. It takes about 4 weeks or more for those who have seen results.
As for pitfalls:
1. Don't overdue your bulkheads (too much flow)
2. Cover the pail so you minimize algae growth in the bucket
3. Put a larger grain sand on top so your sand doesn't blow around
4. Input water should be pre-filtered so you dont get waste build up in your bucket, skimmer output works well
