Mini ATS from power filter?

I got an idea for a miniature algal turf scrubber after seeing a new product called the eco-wheel.

 

Pics can be seen here.

 

Could you take a power filter that has a bio-wheel in it, remove the covering of the bio-wheel that the bacteria would normally grow on, and replace it with a mesh like fiberglass window screening?  This surface would get surges of water and air as the wheel rotates just like an ATS.

 

Excellent for nutrient export.  Think it would work?

I think if you added a light over the bio wheel it would become a ATF without removing the original material. The window screen might be easier to clean when necessary.
