[mUAr_cHEe]

okie... just went s#@ l!#3 to get some LRs and a skimmer tot i can start my tank soon...

but the lady boss there... bomb me with so much questions about my tank.... she keep saying im doing this and that wrong....

so wad in the world is the undergravel system.... remembering that i am only using a 2ft tank..... do i need it???

i tot the smaller the tank.... the easier it is to set up....

can see how fustrating it can get already.....

ask your questions here. not there.

Undergravel system is a rubbish system not suitable for marine whatsoever. pls censor the LFS name or i will get into trouble thank u

[mUAr_cHEe]

btw.... juz wanna add..... did not managed to get the stuff i wanted to get....

instead with the lady's advice... i am running my filter now... some top filter that came as a set with my tank... also running a small internal filter at same time...

waters kinda cloudy now.... result of the dirt frm the sand... i assume???

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?

[mUAr_cHEe]

Filter is necessary. I think for 2ft, you can get a canister plus maybe a skimmer.

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
