I like bio-balls, what I did was to add ~20 pounds of rubble in my sump. I kept my bio-balls to break Ammonia, followed by rubble to control the Nitrates. I also change the particulate pad twice per week.
You should watch the bio-balls, don't allow them to gather much build up. Clean about 1/3 of them every 2-3 months.
