It will not release the nutrients back into your system it just breaks it down so it can be pulled by the skimmer as dead waste.

I run a sulphur denitrator that is controlled with an ORP controller and had it running while I dosed chemiclean, the denitrator functioned properly the whole time, therefore, the chemiclean did not kill the good bacteria in the reactor so I dought it killed the good bacteria in my tank.
The package says it is safe and after using it I have to agree, I so absolutely no ill effects other than a whacked out skimmer.
