thanks.

I used to just use live rock rubble and once in a while i would throw a bag of carbon in there. Your right tho get rid of those bioballs

LR rubble and a bag of Chemipure is great for that chamber. Some will argue LR rubble is a detritus/Nitrate trap but the two system that I manage look great and have very little nitrates.

I was warned about nitrate too but in 8 months of running my cube I never once ran into that problem. Another thing I would recommend is a small protein skimmer
