Bio-wheel systems are not typically recommended where you have plants because they will degas CO2 off which you want for your plants. Cannister filters are the filter of choice for these systems. But if you already have a bio-wheel type and $$ is an issue, then just remove the bio-wheel part of it and just use it as an HOB type filter.
