Does the sea water and/or sand/mud/rock have to be from temperate sea water? I would expect so as bacteria are quite specific about environmental needs. Thus it will not be much help for those who live in colder regions. Hopefully I am wrong and will find it is OK for me to go down the street to get sea water
 or out on the boat to get away from poluton potential...then I would just heat it up to temp.

I read the article from PaulB, interesting stuff. The zeovit system has a bacterial addition which might work along the same lines.
Does the live sand in the stores not also address this? I guess another option is to add or swop over a fresh piece of live rock periodically to ensure fresh seeding with the correct bacteria....

I would think swapping a piece of rock or cup of sand with a fellow reefer would add as much or more diverse bacteria than picking something up off the beach... and you wouldnt get as much risk of polution, depending on the reefer
