I got this thing too. Its ok. The best part is running carbon in it. The filters will just produce your nitrates. Someday I hope to get rid of it....

Do you have any problems with microbubbles in the tank as a result of using this filter?
I have one with the dual bio wheels and it releases so much bubbles.
Thanks,

Jst my opinion, but if your tank is established and you just added this filter in place of the other without seeing any spikes in your water, I would remove the bio-wheels and just use it to run carbon. The bio-wheels will just lead to increased nitrates in the future.
