2-5 Gallons?

[lilhurleybunny]

A few days ago I discovered that my whisper canister filter said "2-5". Does this mean its only good for 2-5 gallons?

If so I probably need to get a new one (since it is in my 10 gallon) hehe ..I was planning on getting a Bio-Wheel 125 for my 10 gallon. Have you guys had good luck with these? Are there any downsides to bio-wheel filters?

THANKS!

I've never used a BioWheel smaller than a 170, but sometimes the Penguins can have problems with the wheels stopping for one reason or another. After the tank is mature, that's mostly only a problem if it annoys you (as you'll have bacteria built up in your tank and filter media). For info, I ran a Penguin 170 for six months, and it stopped three times.
