I don't know where to post this with all the new categories so I will stick with my aggressive friends.
I am in the process of getting a new QT tank, and I will be using an old emporer 280 biowheel as the filter. I have heard people say the just toss the biowheel into the sump of their DT, and the put it in the filter on the QT when they fill it for use. Question is will just floating the biowheel in the sump maintain enough beacteria to filter the QT? Or do you have to run the biowheel filter on the sump? I am trying to avoid having my QT running all the time as I have not purchased fish in some time, and if I can avoid running the filter on the sump that it also one less thing to maintain. Of course the wheel would be sanitized after each use.
Thanks.
