I also have a nano/pico/??? 8 gal Biocube, and I have slowly removed my bioballs and replaced with polyfilter (same material used in dialysis machines!) also added calcium/ion exchange media from Drs F and S online, has made a great difference, also they now make a PS for your size tank, althought too big for mine
