I have alot of whisper filters and airpumps. I also have 330's. I love
the whisper and thier bags. I have 2 whisper's leak onto my floor. My
husband resealed them and so far so good. I love the internal whisper
for turtle tanks, I have it in my crab tank its so quiet.

well, cheap is a great consideration. but their bags have a lot greater surface area
than a biowheel. it does need to be rinsed out once in a while (much less after I
started feeding high quality, low residue food). I tried the aqua clears (I think),
they are similar to whispers, but I didnt like them as much, not as easy to clean,
lost prime and didnt restart automatically after the power went out. noisier.
I know there are other great filters, but I also like the hang on teh back completely
open to air.

I have noticed on several of your suggestions and Puregold you typically
suggest 2 Whisper 3 filters. I would like to know why you prefer them to a
bio wheel. The Penguin 330 can be had for almost the same price online. I
also have heard some glowing reports on the Aqua Clear, which is apparently
very similar to the Whisper, but will a larger chamber. Any feedback there?
As usual, I am not questioning your suggestions, just trying to learn
