I have a 350 Bio-wheel, with a long intake extension. I was wondering if its better for it to be deep or more towards the surface? Just curious as I have it deep at the moment.

Can I ask what you're using for the extension? I have an AquaClear HOB and the intake is very short; I'd like to get it closer to the bottom but haven't seen a filter intake extension in either of the two pet stores I've been to. Is there such a thing or did you DIY one?
the aquaclear does have an extension tube!
its basically another intake tube, and you just join it together with your current one.
I believe all intake tubes for the aquaclear are the same sizes, so you can just add as necessary.

You mean it comes with one? Hm, I didn't see one in my box! I kept the box though I'll check, but I don't think I saw one. Do they sell them separately?
the box only comes with 1 intake tube.
Additional intake tubes (i.e. extension tubes) are sold separately:
for aquaclear 20, 30, 50 Hagen AquaClear Mini 150 200 - Extension Tube | eBay
for aquaclear 70, 110 Hagen AquaClear 300 and 500 - Extension Tube | eBay
hope that helps.
