| The Wand Geek was here. ;)  | Re: filter Yep, bioballs are nitrAte factories... live rock is better since it has deep pores that help to grow the anearobic bacteria responsible for turning the nitrAtes into a harmless gas. Like Travis said.. remove the balls slowly so the nitrifying bacteria will have a chance to grow on other surfaces.
