Here is the picture of my sump (I have only included bare essential for purpose of simplicity in the pic - so don't jump on me).

Now my question is this. As you can clearly see that the water line in too low for some of the bioball to be submerged in the water. Does some (partial) of them need to under water? Or is this setup perfect? Are the bioball doing what it suppose to do with them out of the water? Could this is be reason it is called trickle wet/dry? That the bioball doesn't need to be completely submerged ....

I cannot increase in the water level in the sump, since this would create insufficient space incase of power failure.

Thanks for any input.

Water level looks great! The bio-balls need to be trickled on by water and they shouldn't be under water. Everything looks good to me.

Note: People have said that Bio-Balls will spark up your nitrates so they have replaced the bio balls with live rock instead.
