Bio cube help

Hey everyone I have a new bio cube that has been running for a month and half and I've found some problems.. I got air bubbles in my tank and also I've been reading about the bioballs I have in the tank. From what I see is they are bad and was wondering how I take them out

1. Raise the level of water in your back will reduce the waterfall from compartment one to two.
2. Add some filter floss in compartment two where the waterfall is from compartment one. This will reduce the waterfall sound and take care of the micro bubbles.
3. Buy some Seachem Matrix and put it into a bag. Add the bag into compartment two on the bottom. This will be replacing your bio balls.
4. With the bio balls, slowly remove the balls and add the Matrix.

Do you have a CUC or fish in the tank left? If now, you could just remove the bio balls and insert the Matrix.

IMHO, bio balls are not that bad. There are worse choices you could have made.
Good luck.
