Is it possible to use a power filter, such as a Fluval 3 Plus, for example,
to power a reverse undergravel filter, or is the pump insuffucient? But if
it was not powerful enough, could the power filter be used as a mechanical
prefilter (with fine filter media as an extra in a Fluval 3 Plus), and then
a powerhead drive its output through the UGF to allow a small power filter
to drive a tank of a large capacity than its rating (due to the increased
biological filtration)?
I know this isn't strictly a plant question, since plant tanks seem to need
less filtration anyway (?), but it would be very helpful.
