A good point mentioned by richer, regarding cichlids.
Is this going to be a cichlid tank? If so then chances are the UGF will be impaired by their digging.
Secondly, is it going to be a heavily planted and/or decorated community? If so it is very difficult to vacuum successfully in such a setup without major disturbance.
I have used UGF's successfully in the past and don't want to try and label them obsolete. But many people would agree that if you combine an Eheim canister with an Aquaclear HOB then it is pretty much smooth sailing from there.
