A Second Filter

I'm always outside of inside jokes

 

I would do like mentioned and just buy a larger filter. Youll get the same effect in one package. Reefing is alot like murphy... what can go wrong will go wrong, so narrowing it down to one filter would be a better option imo.

 

I personally use marineland bio wheels. I like em

 

I have heard of people using marineland, but to be honest your the first person I have heard say they love them I hear a lot about the brass screws on their parts causing water chemistry problems. in saltwater not fresh.

 

Yeah I heard the bio wheel is a nitrate factory.

 

+1. That is always what I have heard along with bioballs.

 

+2 I took the filters and the wheels out of mine and just use it to run carbon now. The way I was told, it creates aerobic bacteria with the wheel, which just out compete the anaerobic bacteria you want to eat up the nitrates. I had a bad nitrate issue before, and now the levels are virtually undetectable.
