Get a protien skimmer. They remove the waste before it breaks down into nitrate. Sorry dude. Its just that simple.
... The tang police might have something to say about keeping one in a 75gal too.

Would tend to agree a “good” skimmer definitely removes dissolved organics before it has a chance to break down. Having no skimmer running on the tank, gives me a good opportunity to see directly the effect of a DSB.

I guess if you cant be tempted to come over to the dark side here is another article to add to your list.
How Sand Beds REALLY work http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-0...ture/index.php I personally just got rid of my deep sand bed about a year ago. I didn't have enough micro fauna in it and so it turned into and H2S bomb. I had less than 1ppm Nitrate then and I am still at that same reading now. For me it wasn't worth it and I'm glad it's gone.
