Re: Sump/bio media Question
I have used sumps extensible in reef tanks as well as fresh water tanks and still used them, I always have a filter sock in drain in first chamber, then any or a combination of bioballs, ceramic rings, poret foam or even scrubies in secod chamber and return pump in third chamber, if I use a rectangular tank as sump I just divided it with egg crate as needed.

Re: Sump/bio media Question
The bio balls really should be used in a trickle tower, and should be out of the water. Ceramic media should be used under water. Also the bio balls have limited surface area compared to ceramic. Look into marine pure. Apparently one marine pure bio ball is supposed to be equal to having something like a few liters of the plastic bio balls. The marine pure also comes in blocks, and is supposed to be able to remove nitrates as well. I personally haven't used it yet, but will probably try it. Anyway look into it and see what you think.
