I was hopiong to get a few opinions on what people thought of using undergravel filters IN ADDITION to a general power filter (ex: Penguin 350). I have a few tanks and in each, use only external power filters. My largest tank is a 72 gal bowfront, medium planted, heavily stocked with various community fish. I do the average water changes, and everything runs very well and looks good (crystal clear, good w/ chem strips teating).
I'm transfering a different 37 gal to a 55 gal, and am thinking about using an undergravel filter in addition. I have a good resource that says DO NOT use them, as it traps excess amounts of waste, that can become toxic if you ever move it. I just wanted to know what people think, experiences?!
