Baffle on a 12 gallon Maineland eclipse aquarium?

[Love2Live2Love]

Hi, I was given a 12 gallon planted and established tank with 6 neon Tetras and a nerite snail yesterday. I plan on making a baffle before I add my betta, as the current seems too strong.

Issue #1: the bio-filter wheel isn't spinning. Help?

Issue #2: ideas on a baffle?

Thanks!

1. Try cleaning the little spikes on the side of the bio wheel.
2. Cut a water bottle in half left to right. Then cut the bottom portion top to bottom in the middle. Then out that in front of the output of the filter.

Awesome, thanks! I'll try that tonight.

Quick question.... Is the bio wheel supposed to have some kind of bearings to spin it freely, or am I just supposed to drop it straight into it's compartment?

Just drop it straight in.

No problem! And what a coincidence because I have three fish tanks and a guinea pig too!
