Paul does have a way of convincing people about the RUGF.
Reverse UG filters do a lot of good things but they won't prevent a flood.

I don't think the undergravel filter is something your going to be happy with in the end. I actually didn't even think they sold them anymore.
Dam! I knew I was using the wrong system for 40 years.

Quote:
The sand bed can be used to grow beneficial bacteria that will in turn aid in the biological filtration. This is why a lot of people believe in the use of the DSB.
This is true, it is also why there are no old tanks running with DSBs

Have a great day and I am real sorry for all of your losses. Whatever system you go with, good luck with it.
