Hmm, I might have just answered my own question on why not use a UGF.

I've read more than once that UGF systems can do more to support "bad"
bacteria than nitrifying bacteria. I had one in my 72 gallon tank that I
converted to reverse flow, then removed when changing to a plant substrate.
I didn't have it in the tank long enough to say how well it worked in the
long term though.

I like a quiet filtration system, so I try to stay away from stuff that
splashes. If I ever get the chance to get something that big, I'll put a
couple Eheim 2128's on it with Eheim prefilters.

Great tank. Post back with more pics when you have it set up.
