Hydroton (media developed for aquaponics) is very effective at reducing nitrates in my experience and several other local reefers around here who now have it in our sumps and media reactors. Its also a lot cheaper and more environmentally friendly than live rock. Should only cost about $10/gallon or so.

I have some hydroton kicking around from my vivarium build....I may have to give this a try in my frag tank.
