I Bought Several Things For Only $26.00

Ok my local LFS is closing and they were having a 50% off and more sale! I bought an API master kit (Good idea?) ummmmm a fancy guppy care book, 2 bags of gravel (one black and one pink) and water declorinator! All I hav left to get is...a heater (watts?) an air pump, a themometer, and a new filter (The Penguin 100 Bio-Wheel Power Filter provides superior biological filtration for freshwater or marine aquariums. The Bio-Wheel is the ideal culture site for the growth of beneficial bacteria. This filter requires no pumps, valves or tubing and the Bio-Wheel will never clog or need replacing. The Penguin provides 3 stage filtration: Stage one-mechanical filtration-the filter cartridge filters dirt and debris. Stage 2-chemical filtration-Black Diamond Carbon removes odors and discoloration. Stage 3-Biological filtration-Bio-Wheel eliminates ammonia and nitrite and is the ideal place for the growth of beneficial bacteria. Also features: larger Bio-Wheel, filter cartridge, boise reducing cover and adjustable mid-level intake. Filters 100 gph and is good for tanks up to 20 gallons in size.) Good filter?

The biowheel filters are OK but they use disposable filter cartridges that will end up costing a fortune if you follow the manufacturer's advice on them. The wheel part makes a very nice biological but the rest of that filter is not as versatile or flexible as most other filters. A heater for a 20 gallon would be about 100 watts. The air pump is purely an option, not a necessity but with that said I have 4 of them. If they have the right sized Aquaclear, it is a more flexible filter.
