i would like to get a 72 or 90 gallon bow front i can get either for a very good price my question is this can i use a megaflow overflow with just a canister filter like the fluval 405 and have a undergravel filter would this work or would it be better to use the fluval with external plumbing? i want a clean install this will be my third tank the other two i have had in the past used simple power filters this is my first chance to go for a nice tank please help

Welcome to AC! I would recommend starting a thread in GFW asking for input for more visibility. If you decide to go UGF, make it RUGF.

does that mean reverse ugf? and with that setup would i use power heads or run them straight into my filter?

Yes...reverse flow.
Post a thread here...

and it will get more views. The RUGF can be driven by powerheads or canister discharge.

You could use an aquaclear powerhead which has reverse flow.
