Water changes are going to be your main source of nitrate export. There are other ways of assisting this, like refugiums, algae turf scrubbers, so on.
They make nitrate reducing filter pads as well as liquid nitrate remover
Alright. As for my original question, I watched a video by Marine Depot on modifications made to the biocube, and one of the mods involved was turning the first chamber into a refugium.
Regardless of any previous discussion of the concept of removing bio balls, how would this be done?

middle, not first. First is way too small. The way to do it would be remove the bio balls, add live rock rubble and a ball of chaeto, get either a shop light or a mini T5 light, attach it to the back of the tank and you're done.
You can YouTube a DIY version made out of egg crate. The in-tank media baskets are expensive I looked at them. I always just put the rubble in loose and the ball is loose and when I needed to I removed the filter between the second and third chamber, and put a bag of purigen in the slot where the Sponge Filter went
Google or YouTube search BioCube mods and you'll find all kinds of information on building media racks and implementing refugium
