What you're describing is a refugium...Good choice in my opinion!

A refugium.. On a smaller scale of course, is how nature handles nutrients..i.e., the seagrass beds associated with all natural reefs.

I would stay away from the bio-balls...they can become nitrate factories!

Oh...and no water changes either!
