Ol Studly I would think if you go with a light fish load you could take them out. You can take about 25% of the balls out each week if you want. Monitor for ammonia and nitrite. If you get a reading of either you may want to keep the balls in or add more rock. I would add more rock if that happens. If you do not get any sign of amm or nitrite and have an orp monitor you can watchyour orps climb the next day after removing the balls. A true sign that no bioballs are better.
