bio wheel

what does a bio wheel do

In fw it allows a colony of bacteria to grow on it that feeds on the bad stuff in your tank. In sw it becomes a nitrAte magnet which is bad.

This looks like an excellent site for info on filters and a lot of other subjects. I would suggest checking out this site.

Wouldn't a nitrate magnet be a good thing?

I guess what I meant by that was that it collects stuff from the water and creates nitrates. and making too much for a sw tank.
