I have UG Filter and I'm really satisfied with it but only one thing I wanted to ask you'll guys is that, Is it really adviceble to have UG filter coz it suck the waste UG wich can come up when the Gravels are distrubed for some decoration purpose? Also the waste starts decaying after some time where in sponge filter you can clean the waste with out emptying the entire tank.
Discuss...Why UG Filter

- Start date
personally i have never had one and probably never will......
i think reverse ugf or rugf would be better if you wanted to keep it. force the crud out of the substrate so it can't accumulate as fast, instead of forcing it to accumulate.
otherwise i would be thinking timebomb and problems waiting to happen.

There was a post on this topic not long ago. It is now on page 3 of this forum I think. I suggest you read it, it had a lot of arguments for and against UGFs.
gaurang, use the search for the UGF or UG or RUGF on the site. you'll get a lot of long post.
i've just read a few today, if you have time to spare and enjoy reading to find out, you'll be amazed of the findings.

I used to use RUGF in my Discus tank. I didn't have any problems for the longest time, but after about a year or so I just happened to look under the tank and saw a lot of muck and debris built up underneath the grates.
I vaccumed the gravel real good every week, but I guess I couldn't get it all. The only way to get it out was to take out the RUGF all together. Talk about a pain.
