I have a small 15 gallon tank that I am setting up in addition to a larger tank I have. Is a Bio-Wheel and 20 lbs of live sand good enough filtration for this small tank?
Is a Bio-Wheel good enough?

I thought about the lr but I don't know if I want to buy anymore. I have some decorative fake live rock with tunnels. Plus, I already had this 20 lb bag of live sand that I didn't need.

I think that will work. If you have a protein skimmer than that would be even better. Im only runnin a 40 gallon millenium hang on filter and i have a 65 gallon. Since i have a protein skimmer though i dont need a massive filter.

I have a skimmer for my 75 gallon tank. I've got a spare Bio-Wheel and am not going to buy a skimmer if I don't need it.
