filter size

[AgentOrange]

i got a new tank for my fish and i want to transfer them into it can i use the undergravel in my smaller tank even though its a bit smaller.

My old tank is 24x12x12 and my new one is 30x15x12 i have got a interpet duo2 filter pump also could i use the both.



Thanx the Agent

Hi AgentOrange

The smaller UGF plate will be fine.

Use both as Teknikz says.

the smaller one will certainly work i have used smaller ugf systems in larger tanks and yea they work fine ive even used a 1 foot ugf in a two foot tank before now and it worked ok. if you are planning on using two filters thats is a good idea.

how clean does you water stay? I have never tried using my ugf that came with one of my kits.

I have read (and practice) reversing of the direction in your underground filter. Is anyone else doing this? It keeps the majority of the underplate area squeaky clean.

i havent tryed it but i suppose it would work just as well only it would be a bit trickey using anything other than a power head. hard getting the bubbles to go down.

Jamnoq,
That's so true! I guess I didn't think about that since I always use a power head instead of air! Does the air actually help?

I did it and the water is clear as a realy clear thing im using a ugf with 2 tubes on 2 seperate Rena 300s pumpin like a ***** is it worth using the Interpet Duo 2 filterpump or not i got it in now coz the of the carbon i can put in it



Thanx guys The Agent
