Give your sand bed a little more time. I installed a DSB and my NO3 still measured 30ppm for 3 months after. Nothing changed and I thought DSBs were all hype. Then I measured one day, zip for NO3. Haven't had a problem since.

It is accurate though, the fish you are keeping are rather messy and not helping the cause.
