Exactly how do they clean the fish tank and eliminate nitrates?

"Sea urchins are to most shallow subtidal marine ecosystems what grazing animals such as bison or cows are to terrestrial communities. "


more than you ever wanted to know about a sea urchin

I have never heard of an urchin eliminating nitrates from a tank, but I do know they are very intolerant to nitrates. I went through 2 tuxedo urchins to figure that one out. If you are going to own an urchin keep the nitrates as low as possible.
