Bio Balls: Yeah or Neah

I agree if you don't backflush your bioball tank once in a while you potentially do have nitrate sink. One other fact about using bioballs is that they contribute to oxygenation of the water by have high surface area. Although I have never measured the REDOX potential with and without them. True a GOOD skimmer can also do the same thing.

Gonna start pulling them out tomorrow. EmilyB, I want to make sure things are stable before I get rid of the BioBalls

Are you from Kelowna hemo? If so, I have a old (it is old) 33 gallon you could make a sump out of. I was going to use it for mine until I got my hands on a 55 gallon. We can do it NHL style, a trade for "future frag considerations"

Hey Phillybean, yeah I am in Kelowna and do appreciate the offer but a tank inst the problem. I just dont have the room to get a 33gal under/inside my stand (I've actually got 2 33 gal sitting in the closet that I'm not using ). It'd be great if one of them would actually fit
