Which of these areas is/are best for the bioballs. I have them in B and C right now. D is a trickle-plate that I have not yet installed.

For the trickle plate...would a grid-drilled piece of acrylic be ok?
 
Sorry, apparently my diagram didn't load. B is the upflow, and C is the Overflow into the return.

Back in the day, I put the bio balls directly under where the water drops down from the tank.

So it would look like this.

water from tank

trickle plate

bio balls

eggcrate


as for the trickle plate, yea that would be fine.

hope it helps
