[AquaticLife] Bio-Wheel
Jimmy, I think with a dried out biowheel this would not be a problem. A canister filter dumping a good volume of wet dead bacteria might cause problems. In my own experience I have use many sponges filters and biowheels that have been dried out for sometime and not experienced any problems when reusing them. But by all means a good soak and gently shaking of the biowheel to rinse it will not hurt the wheel at all. Just don’t lose the little blue plastic bearings on the axles of the biowheel. At times my biowheel filters come to a stop from low water flow and after a few days I note it and fix the problem. So far no problems have arisen from this. -Mike In a message dated 4/26/2008 4:18:32 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, mchaneyjm@yahoo.com writes:
My only concern was that the dead bacteria on the Bio-Wheel might not be removed by soaking and rinsing and might cause some contamination of the aquarium water when put back in service.
