I recently learned about DSB effects/benefits. Having all this live rock, would I benefit from adding a DSB in a refugium(20 g Rubbermaid) within the sump or from adding more live rock?

Tank has been established for about 3 yrs. Some small soft corals…about 7 total, plus blue tang, 2 percula clowns and rose anemone, mandarin goby, tiny snowflake eel and orange-shoulder tang. They have always gotten along fine… no bullies… all fish fed once a day (except eel which is fed 1 to twice a week). Also have clean up crew (about 50 blue and red hermits, turbo snails, etc.) 0 nitrites and ammonia, but nitrates have always been an issue until I recently got rid of all the bioballs, SLOWLY of course. Is a DSB just a cheap alternative to live rock? Thanks for all your help! Rico 100g reef filtration change de James! Setup:
