Of course, it doesn't take the place of drilling but it did effectively remove the surface layer of dissolved organic material.
I second this idea. I have these things on both of my sumpless tanks and the surface of my water is wonderfully clear. Try and hook it up to feed your protein skimmer for added benefit.
