Just looking at getting into the saltwater game, what seems to be the consensus on using an UGF, should I use one or not.
Basic setup would be a trickle filter and protein skimmer.
Thanks
I would say no dont use it.
In my experience with them over time there will be a build up of sludge under the grill part of the filter causing poor water quality and potential filter failure.
Ugf's are bad. to start you will need a wet/dry and a powerhead or 2. it depends on what you are thinking about. A ugf will cause debris to get trapped and tank parameters will be hard to keep under control.
