UGF's are WAY old technology and are more harmful now than helpful. The best type of filtration is lots of live rock and a skimmer and then some powerheads for water movement. My favorite filter (that I use on my Seahorse tank and my bigger tank) is the Emperor 400's. Anyway hope this helps and good luck!
