The bio wheel on our filter (new) is extremely noisey - has anyone else experienced this?

I can't take it anymore. I had to remove the bio wheel. The noise is not bubbles, not impeller, it is the wheel spraying water due to centrifugal force. Remove it... silent. I replaced my 20 year old Penguin 200 with the new one and HATE IT. 100% REGRET. ZERO STARS.

does it come with the bio wheel and filter

Just purchased the 200 size yesterday and it included one bio-wheel and one cartridge. Just thought I'd mention that since no answers have been posted in the last year and packaging may or may not have changed in that time.

How much clearance between the wall and the aquarium is required?

I have 4 inches from the back of my Aquarium and the wall. There is 1 inch between the back of the Filter and the wall.

how do to maintence on 350 marine penguin power filter?

I use a brass "jet" size nozzle on my garden hose to clean the dirty filters. Blast hose water thru from the opposite side of the blue side and it does a great job cleaning the filter. If using tap water is bad due to killing bacteria, what happens when you take a new filter out of the box? Is there living bacteria on the new dry filter. I don't think so, and I have no fish health problems using my method and they can be washed 3-4 time before new replacement. Just my 2 cents after using this method for over 3 years.
