In my 55 gallon Aquarium I have 2 filters that each one pumps 400 gallons per hour along with a 3foot bubble wand.

I was thinking of shutting down 1 of them(too much noise). Now if I do this what should I do with the bio wheels(has 2) and the 4 filter cartridges. Should I just place the Bio-Wheels inside the Aquarium?

I'm also picking up a bigger tank(150 gallon) and would love to use the filter to start the nitrogen cycle. I can easily hide the bio-wheels behind plants in the aquarium til I pick up the new aquarium.

I know that I need 550 gallons per hour of circulation for the 55 gallon tank and was just thinking of picking up a smaller filter of 150 gallons per hour.

Any Ideas. Thanks

Keep both filters running until the new tank comes then swithch it over would be the ideal way to do it
