Default Upgrading...have question

Im switching out my canister filter for a Sump/fuge

my question is, is there a breakin period for it? Seems like since the bioballs will be brand new i wouldnt have the bacteria and stuff on them to give me the good filtration im looking for right off the bat. So is there something i need to do or should i just set it up and go? I dont think it will be a problem but i just want to make sure before i do it.

My last Sump i set up from the start and it ran for a month before i added anything, so it wasnt an issue, but this tank has been running for about 9 months now. Nitrates starting to climb, figure the canister is the cluprit.
