I would avoid Pot scrubbers, as most of them have some types of cleaning agent impregnated into them.
^^Everyone on here uses them for bio, in fact there is a moderator that bought them in bulk and sells them on here. I'm not sure how they would work for a marine setup I just wanted to point out that most of them if not all do not have a cleaning agent impregnated in them.
They are great for biofiltration in fresh or saltwater systems when used in wet dry filter. They will generate lots of nitrates. If you're going to use some type of denitrator or do a lot of water changes they will work in your marine set up. Just curious...no live rock for you?
liverock only is much much better as liverock can breakdown nitates as quick as produce them. its the best by far for filtration, another reason to move slow is to allow that process to establish itself.

Anaerobic bacteria grow in the inner parts of the live rock and convert nitrate to nitrogen gas.
its the same concept of a DSB, deep sand bed. However for this process to happen efficiently you need far more then 1.5-2 lbs of rock per gallon, and is also determined by the porosity of the rock. Different types of rock are less dense then others, creating quite a difference.
