I say 10 to 12, and bio balls are overrated..... Slipe some celllpore in there and you're golden.... www.cellpore.com
Great looking tank you have there. 
Won't comment on the filtration as you already have some sound advice. How regularly do you do a water change and what quantity? I run a 20% change on a weekly basis. Depending on how the water looks I might do it at 5 days.

I have too many particals floating around. The fish swimming around seem to kick up particals. I need to step up filtration. The current filters are working, but just not enough turnover. Need a few more weeks of skimming "milk money."
