Uneven bio wheel rotation

23 15:42:15

Question
I have a Marineland tank (eclipse 2 - 27 gallons).  My bio wheel has started to rotate unevenly - what is the cause and should I be concerned.  It never really stops - just turns unevenly.

Answer
Hi Bernie

My Marineland Bio-Wheel filters have plastic holders that the bio wheels sit in. These come out for cleaning purposes. Make sure the plastic holders are snapped in place. If they aren't snug, the bio wheel will fit crooked.

Hope this helps, good luck!
