Thanks in Advance

I can suggest buying online.

in Pakistan, its not an option!

It can be shipped to anywhere. No buts about it. If you dont want it shipped to you directly, then have it shipped to a friend elsewhere and the friend can ship it to you.

A biowheel is simply a platform for the beneficial bacteria to live on. It is typically made frmo strong [cloth/paper matererial, pleated, so that a lot of material can be compressed into a small area. The "wheel" part of it makes it so it is a cylindar - set on bearings so that it rotates in and out of the water as the ammonia/nitrite laden water passes by.

Biowheels are nice, but I think you can do just as well or better with other media to make a bacterial platform. Biowheels are the "rage" right now, but a porous sintered glass, lava rock, bio-balls, sponge, or even floss base will do just as well. I prefer the sintered glass to a biowheel ANY day.

I expect that if you wished, you could create the same effect of the biowheel by using a material - the micron filters that are sold as replacements for micron inserts in filters is excellent material and most is already pleated - and laying it along a flat surface. Run your wwater from the tank down, over the micron filter material - it will provid plenty of surface area for the bacteria to colonate.

hmm.. Fefe where in pakistan?. Im in United States but originally from Karachi, Pakistan..?
