Seriously, though, although I mentioned that critters and LIVE sand aren't necessary for natural nitrate reduction I wanted to mention that good quality live sand IS very desirable for the amazing increase in plankton production it provides - which benefits corals and other filter feeders as well as many fish, such as dragonettes and wrasses. As Carmie already mentioned, getting small quantities of seed sand from multiple reliable sources is a great way of boosting the overall biodiversity of your tank.
