I agree on bio-balls getting a bad rap. They aren't necessary or even desirable but they also aren't the demon that many make them out to be. The term "nitrate factory" pertains more to wet/dry filters which more often than not make use of bio-balls in an oxygen rich environment. Using bio-balls in a submerged environment won't have nearly the same effect when it comes to producing nitrates.
