Looking for Answers about Marineland Marineland Penguin BIO-Wheel Power Filters?

YES it would give enough filteration and even extra.

You should be careful of doing that. The filter might be too strong for the tank and blow water all over the place like a fire hose. Also, the glass might not be thick enough to handle such a massive filter. In addition, it will likely void the warranty on your lawn mower.

yes it can,, i run more than double what is recommended,, it cant hurt,, it keeps it crystal clear,,
i have 2 emperor 400 on my 75 gal which is enough for 180 gal tank and running 3- emperor 400 on my 125 gal tank wich is enough for 270 gal tank

Absolutely. I run a Penguin 350 (the 70-gallon one) and a Tetra Whisper 60 on my 55 gallon (I have goldfish, so I need the extra filtration).

One issue to be aware of is if you are using the standard hoods that come with most 55-gallon tanks, you may need to modify the hood with a hacksaw to make the Penguin filter fit, but it's really very easy to do and takes just a minute of time.

The 200B does have a slot for a additional media container which is optional from Marineland. If you order it be sure to use the ceramic media form Marineland as others are to large. Hope this helps.

no.all you can put in is the cartridges and the wheel.

yes this filter is for both fresh and saltwater.

yes i used to have one on a saltwater fish tank

ok i think it would be a good idea to get the 350 and get a 100 or 150

There is an Emperor 400. These have spraybars which is a cool option. In any case you will need two 350's or 400's for a 90.

I have personal used this one for turtles as well. You can find that if intake tube is in the water the filter will SUCK it up, if the water is around 1" above the intake you can get swirls in the water and the filter will suck air, so extending the intake is a must.

If you need to lower the intake you can buy some nylon plastic tubing or acrylic under gravel tube and cut them to size so your intake will reach farther down. With the intake extended and the power goes out the output will suck air and break the siphon and the filter wont back drain.

JUST BE CARFULL and make sure the turtles dont knock at the output and point it away from the tank. I had mine do that and it drain the tank in my floor while I slept.

hope that helped

4 inches

no i have the marine land 200 thats rated for 55 gallons and i have it on a 29 gallon and my fish are fine so ya go for the extra filtration.

sure it will i have the same thing as you and it fits perfectly.

ya because arent they rated up to 70 gallons each? that would equal 140 gallons so that would work and be a little extra.

Right size C

i dont think so that would be way too powerful and look ugly on a small tank.
go for a marine land 150 or the 200.

ya and u do need a bigger filter since you have turtles

No, the filter cartridges are too small.

i have the marine land 200 and i dont see anywhere to adjust it so probably not.

Different size filters use different sized media.

It's to pull in water from the middle of the tank, in addition to the bottom. I don't use it (keep it closed).
