    Cleaning After Buffing Out Haze & Scratches?

    What's Better, a Bio-Wheel or Trickle Filter with Bio Balls?

    What is better for an under cabinet filter - the larger MarineLand bio-wheel2, or a wet/dry trickle filter with bio-balls? I plan to add one of them to a 100 gallon tank that already has (2) Emperor 400's (I want overkill). Is that enough aeration? Thanks, Mitch
