Bio Balls, is this really why???

Nitrate Factories!!! LOL, most of us say it, here's where Im confused. Bio Balls are too efficient at converting nitrites to nitrates and provide no anaerobic bacteria to consume the nitrates,so Where does all the extra nitrate reside if not using bioballs, is LR not capable of increasing its anerobic bacteria content when subjected to elevated nitrate levels, seems like something is not quite right in this. simply put: if bioballs can produce nitrates too fast, where is this material hiding when bioballs are not used.
