Question about filtration?

21 years ago

I just have a quick question about bio-wheels. I have an eclipse 5 gallon aquarium with a bio-wheel. Do I also need and air pump for oxygen or is the bio-wheel enough? We keep 2 fish at a time. Also I had to do a 100% water change and water is absolutely full of little bubbles. Will these go away eventually?? Thanks!

I think if you put an airstone in there it will be too much for a 5 gallon tank. The biowheel should suffice.
The bubbles on the glass will go away in a day or 2. BTW, what kind of fish do you have?
