Yup, I understand where you're coming from. But how would you keep your PO4 levels in check. I assume you're going to feed the tank? BTW, H2S never comes out from the sand bed without good reason ... like digging in it.

another reason is to prevent H2S come out from DSB
& also prevent phosphate release from DSB cause when ph status decrease in the DSB, the bacteria will release phosphate
btw having sps will needed undetectable phosphate

Not sure why u said it is lousy, but can you tell your water condition?

PH/KH/NO2/NO3/NH4
Salinity level

Bigger tank require better and more powerful Protein Skimmer.
