    Fluval FX5 - no "BioWheel" - please give me advice

    Hahah! Menagerie, I would really appreciate if you could post a picture since I dont know how severe the agitation needs to be. I will get two Spray bars for my two 404's this week. The FX5 wont be in for a couple of more weeks. That way I can familiarize myself with that setup. And if you...

    Heya guys! I have been running two 404's for years with GREAT success on a 120G, and I have 4 wide biowheels incorporated, two on each filter.
