If you like ug filters then fine, they do work yes but any hob or canister would be a much much better choice with zero down sides. small fish can get stuck under the filter plates as well as fry. They are just old school.

yeah they work fine if properly used and maintained. but with all the superior forms of filtration available today for a low cost, i would go with something easier to keep up with.
as i like to put it...why still use a VCR when you can get DVD for a few bucks more and its a HUGE improvement? same with UGF and everythign else

Canister filters tend to be expensive. I think HOB filters are the best, but that's just me.Egon;3305496; said:
They did know what they are doing. As do I. Ive run UGF for over ten years successfully and my father for over 20 years. Dont go buy a canister just because someone says its better. Use the undergravel and vacuum the gravel routinely. Also pick up a power filter something like a Aqua clear series or marineland penguin or emperor.
