I don't care for the current Fluval internal line, the old line was much more effective for mech only. The Aquaball will work, but is not as easy access as the Penguin RF sponge.

I am in a hurry for an answer!!!! If you are gonna talk canister filters, make a new topic please!! Thank you!!! Oh, rbishop, do me a favor and don't reply to my posts for a while, you know that I am pissed at you anyways!!!rbishop said:
There was a link posted that will tell you everything you need to know and more about undergravel filtration...did you bother to read it? If not, it will probably answer all your questions. If you did read it and have other questions, you need to voice them in order for them to be answered. The canister talk still had to do with undergravel filters, I was talking about using the outflow of a canister to run into a reverse-flow undergravel setup. It may not be directly relevant to your questions, but its relevant to the discussion. After all, this is an open forum, and you haven't exactly given specific questions to be answered.
@ RTR...I was planning on using the penguin reverse flow kits, so I'll have 2 powerheads, both reverse flow, on a 50gal. I was just looking at an internal for a little bit of extra mechanical filtration...its going to be a brackish tank and it sounds like a lot of the inhabitants are fairly messy.

Did you read the freakin article?!? Reverse flow is contrasted with regular flow undergravel. READ IT, it will answer all these questions!
If you can afford to pay someone to do gravel vacs for you every week then maybe you should start paying someone to do the 50% water changes each week in your 10 gallon overstocked tank or better yet buy the 30 gallon tank that they goldfish need to have and then pay someone to take care of it for you.
I've never used reverse flow, but thats what I'm setting up on my next tank. I like it because it doesn't suck everything down into the substrate, all the crap should be collected by the prefilter sponge which is much easier to clean.
