It's basically a method of turbo-charging your skimmer. Not only do you remove DOC's via the mechanical method of skimming, but you also "burn off" organic compounds that don't make it up the skimmer cup.
Easy to over-do it, though. You pretty much HAVE to have a controller, IMO.
It was one method that allowed you to load up your system with living things. I think (or hope, anyways) that the trend these days is to NOT overstock a reef tank.
