It absorbs nitrate like a sponge until saturated when it will leach back into the aquarium where it could cause problems. Do you want to use it for pH buffering? If so, a small bag of coral sand in the filter or in the water flow will help.

As for the nitrate: Luckily for me, my three tanks are heavily planted, so what little nitrate there is (usually about 5-10) is absorbed by them.

Just put a piece in your filter or hide it in the tank.
