Jag moving rocks with UGF ?

[beerad555]

Just got my jag into new 125 setup and i have ugf with about 75 % of bottom of tank covered with large rocks and the other is quarter inch gravel and he is moving it around. Is my only option to put more large rocks where he can not do so,and how will this affect the performance of the ugf? I also have 2 power filters in tank for filtration but was wondering if by him moving the rock to where the vents on the ugf are exposed in spots if this will be a major problem?

I'm new to this if you can't tell.

I gave up on trying to prevent my jag from digging. Got rid of the ugf. Regular water changes and good filtration seems to keep the water in good shape. Good luck!

at this point you probably can't do it, but why not scrap the UGF altogether

Scrap it!

agreed with scraping it, my two jags constantly dig in my sand. Im thinking about goin bare bottom

If i leave the ugf will it hurt anything or will it just not work properly? I have two power filters also on the tank for filtration, so i thought if the ugf was not working the way it suppose to because of the exposed areas, no big deal.
