    Bio-wheel with no bio-wheel.

    I find the idea behind the biowheel sound, but when they are in use it just doesnt work. The wheels tend to build up bad things like ammonia and nitrates, and dont do their said job which I believe is to export nutrients. That being said, a filter without the wheels can perform its job just...
