I am looking to upgrade my all in one system with a refugium. I made a media basket for the 2nd chamber in the back which currently has 3 different chambers to pass through. The first one is a filter pad the 2nd one is carbon and the 3rd i have bioballs. These compartments are small but i think could do the trick. I have a youtube video of my media basket attached...Any ideas/advice?

Unless you have easy access to the bio-balls for cleaning purposes, I would remove them and use a chemical filtration media instead. Something like ChemiPure Elite or PuriGen.
Bio-balls if not properly maintain will cause high nitrates. They need to be rinsed often.
