Bio Wheel or no Bio Wheel

[Chunandler]

I recently bought a new power filter by regent. Except I forgot it didn't have a bio wheel when I bought it. Does it make that big of difference, is it ok?

Instead of just reading this and looking, please respond.

A bio wheel is a good addition to a power filter, but is not necessary.

The filter material in the filter you have will harbor benefiacial bacteria. Just remember when you clean the filter rinse the filter material in some old tank water.

Ok thanks for the information. When would you recommend to cahnge the filter?

That would prolly depend on the tank size and teh fish inside it. I like going with a biowheel but like CM said its not necesarry.
