The small footprint of nanos combined with something called the edge effect (the fact that the micro fauna that make DSB effective at controlling nitrates, avoid hard surfaces) would make a DSB in a nano ineffective. Not harmful, but ineffective, because the micro fauna populations wouldn't be able to increase to the point that they would be effective in di-nitrafication (if that's a word  ).

makes sense...but i have heard of people using 5gal salt pails full of sand as effective remote DSBs
