Hi Corbin:
I have a Marineland built-in filter that I am using in my nano tank. It has been running for about 2 weeks now and I left the bio-wheel in. Should I yank it out? I have three large pieces of LR and have heard so many contradicting stories about leaving them in or taking them out.
I did a search over at nano-reef.com and couldn't get a straight answer. Since your tanks are doing so well, I thought I would ask you. What are the benefits of taking it out? What are the downfalls of leaving it in? I am currently running the stock filter (marineland 12 gallon SW) but have extra flow from an additional powerhead. My tank is almost through it's cycle, as I started with live sand, live rock, and seawater. The levels are all just about normal now.
Thanks so much!
Keri
