    Under gravel Filter vs Canister

    I have a 125 gal tank that I am reestablishing after a five year hiatus. I had a RUGF that worked just fine. For 15 years in fact. The only problem I had with it was having to hoover the gravel once a month. Plus, I had to totally redo the tank twice. Now I have friends who are saying UGF's are...

    Hello!

    I found this site and thought it looked really nice...and hopefully friendly. I have a 125 gal aquarium that has been sitting around for a few years due to some reconstruction. I am hoping to get it back together soon. I have always been a freshwater fish keeper...and a lover of cichlids. I have...
