I have seen most of Marineland's replacement parts in the PetsMart store that's near my home. It would probably be faster to look for the part you want at your local PetsMart. As always I'd like to hear how your project goes. Thank you for your complimentary comment. African Cichlids. Dwarf Cichlids Festivum Severum. Betta Fish. Customer Comments Hello. I was reading on your site, and you sound like you know a lot about all kinds of fish and equipment.
I was wondering what BIO-Wheel to get. I have seen gph models. I have a gallon tank. Please e-mail me back with the answer to my question. Great site! Customer Comments Thanks for the great website,I check it everyday.
But my question is; What filter is needed for a gl. Thanks Michael S. Bangor Maine. Customer Comments Hello, I was hoping you could answer a question for me. I have a 29 gallon warm freshwater aquarium. I have placed only enough gravel in the bottom to barely cover the glass thanks for the tip. This can be only a minor reason to not have these bio wheels as this is a somewhat correctable problem.
Here is a way correct this problem this will be an on going maintenance problem. Make sure the Teflon ends on the bio wheel axle are clean and have no build ups of calcium you can replace these with Teflon tape in a pinch. Also make sure the bio wheel assembly is not to tight, simply remove the bio wheel and gently stretch the assembly apart so the wheel can spin more freely. WHY one might ask? This is where this observation can be answered with known science and that is the design of the Emperor filter lends itself to being a nitrate factory with its spray bar and irrigation of the basket area, not allowing the use of products such as SeaChem Matrix, de-Nitrate, volcanic rock, Bio Home, live rock crumbles, etc.
I have also found decomposition that leads to decay of KH and reduced Redox balance with Emperor Filters. This is NOT to say bio wheels do not work, they are certainly better than cartridge only filters!
Bio wheels just do not hold up to the hype and urban myths about them in the aquarium hobby. I have used many Bio Wheel Penguin, Emperor, etc. This is what I recommend for any filtration system anyway; the redundancy of more than one filter! Finally , what is missed by proponents of Bio-wheels is although the oxygen aspect of the bio-wheel is one aspect of aerobic nitrification, it is not difficult to maintain adequate oxygen levels for most other aquarium bio filters in a properly set up tank.
What is more important is surface area and there are many other specific filter medias with vastly superior surface area such as nitrifying and de-nitrifying volcanic rock, Matrix, ceramic media and MUCH more. Another important aspect of aerobic filtration is that the faster and more ammonia and nitrites your aquarium bio filter processes the more nitrates your aquarium will have in the end.
The use of a Protein Skimmer in Marine tanks can be helpful in preventing nitrate buildup as well. African Cichlids.
Dwarf Cichlids Festivum Severum. Betta Fish. The top picture shows the Eclipse Aquarium Hood on my Aquarium with the cover of the hood open. The red arrow points to the BIO-Wheel filter in the hood. Here is a closer view of the BIO-Wheel filter with the folded pleats that increase the surface area to provide more living space for the bacteria.
This BIO-Wheel is new and has not yet been populated by bacteria. The ad below links to this advertiser.
