You sure it is an undergravel filtration? I thought it was one of the worst filtration methods... What did she say about undergravel filtration? Did she advise you to get one? Did you hear wrongly?

IMO remove your top filter, they are practically useless for marine tanks..... And that applies to undergravel filter as well............ IMO get at least a hang on back filter and one recommendation is eheim liberty200............ which lfs you go to... PM me the shop name
