Sh*t-can the UGF. I abandoned these years back because you
cannot use enriched substrata (conducive to plant growth) with a
UGF. Also, fry tend to get sucked under the plates. And they're
just plain ugly. For small tanks I use Penguin filters with biowheels.
For large tanks (55gal +) go with fluidized bed.
