I have a 100gal, Aquaclear 500, and keeping goldfish.
I keep seeing posts on UGF (undergravel filters). Are they
really effective? Would it work really well in tandem with the Aquaclear,
I'm thinking of making a custom UGF using Eggcrate and tubes and a plastic
mesh screen,
But I wonder if it's really worth the effort?
