Default Re: Under Gravel Filter in 75gal or No?

That wierd I never heard of UGF be required in a 30gal or more tank. I know that in a 10 gal yu can get away with jst a UGF. As KOGO seid don't trust LFS for advice..... You have to remember that they are in the bussiness to sell you things, anything. The UGF will not cause you and problems, unless you decideto not use it and just turn off the air pump and remove the stacks. If you so that than you will need to remove the plates as the water will turn stagnet under the plates and this water is deadly to the fish. Also people who have plant tanks say not to use them, I used them in all my tanks, except for one, and thats the one I'm setting up now, but that because i want to see, if it really matters.
