Question Pic of a bio-wheel?

Just out of curiosity, does anyone have a pic of a bio-wheel that has been running in a tank for a good while? I have heard that you can see a substantial color change over time as the biocolony becomes more and more established, so I was wondering what one older than my 1 month old wheel looked like.

The first two pics are bio-wheels which have been running since last summer or autumn. The last pic is of a bio-wheel 2yrs old and it definately shows (yuck!):
