How long should I wait before switching my UGF off?
I set up my Eheim 2213 on Thursday the 27th of February.
Having no idea how long it takes I thought I should ask :p

There's no real reason not to run them together for a month, is there? Why make problems ? In the meantime, you've got double the filtration.
I absolutely agree with wetman. Besides, UGF's are a terrific source of beneficial bacteria and leaving it running will only help establish the colony in your canister filter.
