Nitrates causing brown sps?

I'm really thinking this new bulb and chaeto growth will help along with the WC's...just curious if 6" or so of sand in my fuge would be benificial.

I figure do BB all the way or not at all. From what I've read, a fuge and shallow sand go against what youre striving for with BB and might provide areas where detritus break down. I would try to fix the root of the problem and find out where the nitrate is coming from (or maybe you did with the RO). A fuge could even be the source of nitrate. I guess it all depends.
