Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I've got a little bit of experience with aquarium keeping....I had several when I was younger, and now have gotten back to having one...but I've always been in the habit of using the undergravel filters in them. I've noticed that it's rare to see the ugly lift tubes in aquariums anymore, and I'd like to get rid of mine if I could. Right now I use an undergravel, and also a style that hangs on the back of the aquarium. Can anyone shed on any light as to how beneficial these are? Can I get just as good of filteration with just the hang-on-the-back type filter? Maybe I'm just "old school" in my thinking.
