Can the canister be run without the BIO Wheels with the 350 Pro? I do not have room now, but would like to use them after upgrading aquarium size.

Yes, as a matter of fact I ran my first one for about 6 years without the bio wheels..........I have them on now and love them but it will work great without them or with them.....Bryan

The answer is yes. I have been running the canister separately from the bio wheels (by alternating between several 10 gallon tanks without any trouble) ever since I first set it up. My plan is to eventually graduate to the full setup with bio wheels on my 55 gallon tank.

I have a Marineland Bio-Wheel filter on my 20 gal tank and I use Algone all the time. Works great.

Yes you can. If you use an external regulator I also recommend placing an accumulator tank between the regulator and compressor. I use a 70 cu in Bimba tank purchased from a surplus shop for my accumulator. It also keeps the compressor from cycling on as frequently.

The one I bought didn't come with the bio wheel apparatus. But both of my magnum 350 came with carbon. An initial use size

Yes... Also most people are completely rearranging the chambers to a more efficient setup. Going with a media basket instead of the bioballs is a much better option (assuming your tank is saltwater)

I should add I have a 425 and a 240 plus the 240 flow from the filter pump ... If you don't want corals you may be able to get away with just a 240

Yup it working for my 30g anemone/lps tank. I don't think the flow is SPS strong, but flow is great. Keep in mind that my tank has almost no rocks with a return pump of 500gph. Perhaps you can keep one of the koralia. Let me know if you have questions.

Yes, if you have the room. The larger tank will lower the cycle rate of your pump.

Under the tank...and all "canister" filters are for under the tank ;). This is a great canister filter, comes will everything you need to get setup, and is great price for 350g/hr.

J Waters is sorda rite. But its always best to over filter. So this filter will suffice. I wouldn't worry about the current one bit. I have 3 hob filters on the back of my 30 gallon.one is a duel bio wheel. And 2 single filters like this one. They fit just perfect. Not sure if all is needed. But its best to over filter than not have enough.

Yes you can run it without the strainer. There is another part inside that hold the impeller in place. The pump normally comes with an additional small round strainer and adapter to put on 1" under gravel filter uplift tubes. The smaller strainer should be used in this case to avoid sucking up gravel and possibly damaging the impeller. If you are running without any strainers in the tank you will have to be cautious of floating debris such as algae (runners, leaves, stringy, etc.) that can get sucked up and jam the impeller. Hope that helps.

Greetings, for a tank of little ability I do not particularly recommend it. will have too much turbulence, like a hurricane.Look for a more consistent eg 240 Koralia nano.

No, the filter is to small and does not hold benificial bacteria well, you will always have high nitrate and ammonia levels, if your going to use that kind of filter, but a Marine land 350 or 400 bio wheel filter, your fish will thank you, see ya ;-)

Yep, that's what I did. The filter tube took up too much of the tank for me. I removed the entire filter assembly (the below-gravel part, the middle tube) and just use a small side-mounted filter, which is more than sufficient.

Get a penguin biowheel filter for like $10 at drfostersmith and your tank will be whisper quiet.

You will be rowing upstream. The module sits in a bay. It does not sit there well. The old one snapped in. My new one just kinda lays on top. Maybe I need to sit on it :( So, if you have the right dimensions and shape, and cooling, and moisture proofing, and power supply w/proper connectors, etc.... I did use a Dremel drill and routed out a bigger hole for a bigger BIO-Wheel Power Filter. So you can cut it up.

Personally, I can say, I have used this with a magnum 350 canister with success. I have placed it between the blue sponge which covers the carbon media and the side of the filter (so you can see it).
