So what you are saying is water aeration doesnt effect co2 levels? Because I do not believe that is correct. Water aeration effects both o2 and co2 levels in the tank. The biowheel provides more aeration then a standard power filter.

I don't want to argue with you here, I guess I wasnt explaining myself properly. As I stated in the last post, other things could have just as easily caused the stablity, including my expanding experince. However there is no denying that there is more water aeration with a biowheel then a power filter without one. The water is being moved more, giving a chance for both o2 and co2 to exit the water, and replacing itself with o2. Its always been my understanding that is the way that gasses are exchanged. If that is incorrect, please correct me.
