My bio wheel isn't moving

[gale]

Gale, are you sure the bearings are clean as well as the pins on the ends of the biowheel that fit into the bearings. As long as those are clean I've never had a problem with the wheel spinning, especially if the flow is strong. Perhaps your biowheel is damaged (misshapen). If they are misshapen it might throw the wheel out of balance where it doesn't spin correctly. If it's damaged you can replace it and float the old one in the water until the new one is established.

I think it is misshapen. It keeps going wonky, like twisted sort of. I twist it to be straight, and it just goes right back. The problem is that my lfs wants $15 for one and I don't have another source, so my cheapest option is online for around $5-6 plus shipping. I just bought this wheel in october or so. I might call marineland next week and see what they have to say about it.
