Hey all, i love jebos (all in one units), i have had one now for past year and a half, however is only a 50-60 litre unit and wishing to upgrade. The next model i want to get is about 200 litres, however the filter thats built into it is a powerhead which draws the water up over its overhead trickle system with filterwool and noodles. What I was thinking was to tie this to an undergravel uplift tube and plate instead and add a canister filter.
My issue is, will the cannister filtration contradict or go against that of the undergravel? Is it wise or really beneficial to be running both an undergravel and a cannister?

I know this will draw some reactions. I have run UG for many years with out any problems. My 5ft now has a UG with two risers each having its own Rena pump. I also have a large Eheim Pro11.

As they say the proof is in the pudding. My fish are extremly healthy, my plants are healthy, touch wood no basic problems at all.

I may be old but I am always willing to learn also I am never afraid to try some thing different.

What works for me might not work for you, It is just a matter of trial and error and keep a very good eye on what you are doing.

Best of luck
