Ok today I removed all of my bio-balls and replaced them with about 5lbs of live rock rubble. My question or any suggestions, should I be concerned about anything with my tank. The tank has been up and running for 3 weeks now,the only stock I have so far is 2 clowns that are acting normal so far. So if anybody may have any suggestion about concerns that I should have after replacing the bio-balls with live rock rubble after being up and running for 3 weeks, I am very interested in hearing them. Thanks

As long as your LR was fully cycled then the removeal of the bio-balls shouldn't pose a problem. You may want to run ammonia, nitrite and nitrate tests to make sure that you do not have a mini cycle going on and if the levels start getting to high then do a waterchange to get them back down.
