Dang I went with remote DSB's when I set up this tank as kind of a experiment, but decided to take them down when they were turning into a detritus fall out settling tank. I would suggest a refugium well set up with maybe an 1 to 1 1/2 inch sand bed. This will give you some of the denitrification you are looking for and keep you out of trouble.
