RE: undergravel filters

Hi Streve.  UG filters come with a whole bunch of ports for lift tubes.  I
generally install a cleanout tube, just a lift tube that reaches above the
waterline.  Stick a siphon tube down that and you can do a water change
without sucking up any fry and clean out under the plate too.

Hi All

I have a question that I hope someone out there has come up with a =
solution.  Does anyone have a way to clean under an undergravel filter =
without moving the gravel or disturbing the live plants?  We have a 55 =
gallon and a 65 gallon with ALOT of java fern and in the past we have =
had problems after we cleaned because we had to disturb the roots.  Any =
help would be great.

Thanks
Streve
