Okay, I have a 300 gallon aquarium up and running with a 75 gallong sump tank underneath. I bought a box of bioballs that said it was good for an 85 gallon aquarium. I put all of the bioballs in my 75 gallon sump. Is this enough for my tank or do I need to buy more bioballs? The tank has been running for about a week-and-a-half now.
How many bio balls?

in a wet dry sump fill it with as many as will fit
in a fully submerged setting scrap them and replace with ceramics

Fill till it touches the ceiling. More the better, as said above these balls only work best when most of them is above water. You should try scrubbies, there cheap and work the same.
You mean go to a WallMart and buy something called scrubbies? Do I have to replace them or do they last forever? Can I combine them with the bioballs I do have? I have 160 bioballs in my sump. I keep my sump 1/2 full of water.
Where would I buy pot scrubbies, WalMart? When I asked about them, nobody knew what they were. Do they go under a different name?

Agree.You can also at least try to get them moving more with a powerhead also but ceramic would be better.
I think I saw those at the store. Do they sink? They work as well as bioballs right? I can use them AND the bioballs I have at the same time?
I paid over $40 for my bioballs. I am determined to use them. Can more than one biomedia be used at a time?
