Re: Under Gravel Filter in 75gal or No?
UGF's were the standard for a long time and are, as always were, an effective means of filtration. However, there are many more options available now and no one method is a must for all tanks. While UGF's have made a resurgence in recent years it is mostly older shop keepers and those wishing to get rid of slow moving stock that still push them as a necessity.
It sounds like you have plenty of filtration without the UGF and educating yourself on husbandry and maintenance will be all you need to ensure success.
Also, it would pay not to be dependent on the advice of store owners due to the fact that their recommendations (with a few exceptions of course) logically involve what they have for sale and could end up costing you several hundred dollars.
now, the fun part...
what type of fish do you hope to keep in the 75g?
