I have a 55 gallon tank, with an under gravel filter setup as well as a cannister filter (eheim ecco 2234). I have 2 aqua clear 50 gallon per hour power heads pumping water out from under the under gravel filter.
The plastic trays for the under gravel filter sit about 1/2 off the bottom of the tank and I currently have about 1 inch of gravel above the trays. Is this too much gravel for proper circulation? I can scoop out some gravel and use a syphon / cleaner during a partial water change to redistibute the gravel without stirring up debris inside the tank if I need to remove some gravel.
