In all likelyhood, yes and yes. To be absolutely sure that the ammonia and
nitrite levels aren't rising you should test daily but I think there'll be
enough bacteria in your tank water to immediately settle your bio-balls (I
just use the old colored aquarium gravel in my filters since I can't think
of any other good use for that stuff). Enough to take up any ammonia that
the plants don't grab first that is.
