Biowheel

[saywill]

A long time ago, I came here for help on a nitrate problem. you helped me solve it by doing a bunch of things. One of them was to remove the bio wheels from my emporer filter. I did remove one, but was nervous to do both at the same time. So, I have one in there since I did this. Which by the way was easily 8-12 months ago. I have not had a nitrate issue since. Can I get rid of the one bio wheel, of completly remove that whole filter setup??

If you haven't been to this site since last year, a lot of things have changed. There is no longer a "my info" page.
Well, the One spot foxface needs a 70G tank.
I would leave the boiwheel in, until you add some more LR.

Ok, I will leave the filter on.

The foxface was given to me and he has been a great addition since I put him in.

One more thing, I have been thinking about changing my lighting. All I have now is a coralife compact flourecent. any suggestions? I dont want to spend a lot of money.

Regarding your lighting... what type of corals do you want to keep? And how many watts do you have now?
