I've seen more than a few threads here where people say "ditch the bio balls" and "bio balls cause nitrate problems". As someone who has used bio balls in my wet/dry for over 15 yrs...and never had a nitrate problem, where do people come up with this? Is it first hand experience or something you read elsewhere posted by someone who knew someone who's uncle's brothers wifes sister daughter had nitrate problems.
I don't get it. I have a sponge over my overflow with prevents crap from getting to my sump and I do biweekly water changes.
So, can those people that say "ditch the bio balls" let us know about your bad experience and we can compare notes.
Here's a pic of 15 yr old bio balls (which have never been removed from where you see them) and my $2.00 kalk doser.
