By utilising its surface areas for bacteria colonisation, mostly nitrobacter - better to use live rocks instead of bio-balls. And if you uses bio-balls, make sure to use the good ones ie. type of plastic.

Go for those which look very complicated in design(as much surface area as possible). Compared to other bio media, for the same space a single bioball occupies, i believe other bio media like biohome can allow for significantly larger surface area.
