 | HOB Penguin Bi-wheel for nano |
beginner Enthusiast Posts: 223 Kudos: 20 Votes: 0 Registered: 10-May-2002 | Would a Penguin 125 Bio-Wheel filter be ok for my 30gal nano? I currently have to powerheads but think a bio-wheel in the middle back. I could run carbon and it says it removes Ammonia, and Nitrite on contact. If your not fimiliar there is a bio-wheel that spins when the water exits the filter into the tank. |
