just bought an aquarium with bio balls filter

[randytoro]

well i just picked up a 50 or so gallon acrylic aquarium. i bought off a friend, but i didnt realize until i got home that it had a bio balls filtration system. ive been googling and searching but everything is so confusing. it has a seperate overflow section in the back that has been sectioned off. i just need to know how to set up and maintain this filtration system, or just get a submersible undergravel filter. i have freshwater tropical fish. thank you
