Clear Filter

Aqua Clear 30 and an under gravel filter…overkill?

I’m planning on using an aqua clear 30 power filter on a new 20 gallon tank. Would there be any added benefit in also using an undergravel filter? Any reasons not to use both other than cost?

I personally do not use undergravel filters because when used normally they tend to accumulate decaying debris under the plates and become nitrate factories.

This shouldn’t happen with a RUGF – running it backwards, but I really don’t see any benefit to bothering with it.
