Of course a proper sandbed has a major effect on nutrient export. Its main reason is to convert nitrate to nitrogen gas. I realise it takes time for the sandbed to become fully functional. I don't think the addition of more live rock will help the maturation of the sandbed, but will help in biological filtration. In the meantime you do small water changes. It is my opinion (for what it is worth) that you will be fine. But if you are concerned about the immaturity of the sandbed, you can put the clown in my nano for awhile, as it is mostly empty (just some Xenia in it) :D
