GeeTee Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I've never had an ugf and was just curious as to whether you vacuum the crap out from under the panels with a small hose or what you do? I've seen one when a tank was being dismantled one day and it was a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I wouldn't use any ugf. Canister is the way to go. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 You gravel vac the area above the filter and using a hose, vac the air uplift with the air off. There is no good reason why you really need to do that tho as the "mud" stays put under the plate anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 The muck underneath is full of good bacteria. I love ugf for tanks 2ft or smaller. Easy and cheap and run well. I just siphon them as I would with any other substrate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
