This more or less depends on the individual aquarist. Since this is FOWLR, its ok to have higher nitrates as nitrates do not affect fishes as much as corals.

However, IMO if you don't mind setting up a DSB and you do not have any fish that dig into the sandbed, go ahead and setup one.

You can read my article on sandbeds :lol:
