I think I have a worlds first in my fish tank
Dual AC70 HOB UGF system.
I know folks are iffy on UGF plates but they truly do work and work well when using a canister that doesnt have bio filtration. Ive had it up and running for about a week now more like 4 days but I am really suprised in the clarity of the water, the smell of the water and the fish activity that was sporatic before.
I harbor about a colony of 10000+ MTS in this tank and a dozen kuhlis that forage around in the substrate and do a fine job of keeping it clean(gravel vac always drew very little from the gravel when UGF plate was inactive.)
My anubias have actually given off the first new leaves in a while and my corydoras and kuhlis are spawning like crazy.
I was jsut glad that the ac70 uplift tubes are the same diameter of the 1" thinwall UGF uplift tubes, a little GE-1 and its done. I am not sure if anyone else has ever tried this but I figure UGF's were all the rage before these things came out why not use them together for a giant filter.
Old technology isnt always bad technology.
