The Aqua clear BRAND name, I was referring to.

The Eclipse has 3 kinds of filtration: Mechanical, Biological, and
Chemical.

Then the "clean also needs to be capitolized............or else it
looks like your refering to water that is clear................

FYI.the Aqua Clear hang on back power filter also has mechanical,
chemical and biological filtration as well but at a lot cheaper price
with no real need to buy the fitler carts for mechanical unless you
need to use chemical on occassion, so there fore since it is not
propreitary chemical filtration your able to find a lot cheapr bulk
activated carbon or other chemical to use inthe generic mesh bag
supplied with the AC filter. Same for biological portion.no moving
parts to hang up or screw up, and they do screw up and hang up
contrary to what your lfs may have told you. KISS.....Keep it Simple
Stupid (and no the "stupid" is not aimed at you its just a common
saying that is around, so don't view it that way) and that simple is
achieved by bulk non propreitary filter media and substrate and
chemicals and a lot less moving parts to deal with such as biowheels
etc.....

So care to expound on whyt your biowheel is superior to a much cheaper
and simpler type of filter Lu? Inquiring minds want to know. Oh I
know, because yuor inept LFS found a sucker that is now bound for ever
as long as they are keeping fish to buy replacement media ona routine
basis from them (Hopefully) as well as a larger (read) higher tank
with more gallonage with the same footpirint as the 5 gal (sic) hex
tank. I guess they seen a sucker when they seen you coming or else you
just do not understand what is what and do not know how to
differentiate between the right way and the LFS way which is really a
sale ploy in most cases. But then again its your $$ so youyr very well
entitlted to spend it how you want, but you can't say you were not
told different and yet you always somehow happen to have so many
problems that did not have to happen if you only listed to the advice
given here by folks. OH, and your still overloaded 5 gal or no 5 gal
tank..........
