My experience with UGF has been bad. I know it works and have had succes with it but will not voluntarily use one again. If I did use one again I would probably mount a single or more power head to the uplift tubes.

Subject: [AquaticLife] undergravel filters
I know I'm in the minority here, but I still believe the best filtration and means of eliminating the deadly gas pockets is the undergravel filter. Yes it seems old fashioned but I have great success with them along with regular, once weekly 50% water changes. My tanks have gone healthily for years at a time this way, and I avoid the annoying gravel vaccuming. Does anyone else here use undergravel filters? What has your experience been? Rose
