have read a lot of forums and seldom do i see UGF system on planted tanks, however here in the Philippines a large number of the hobbyist use UGF.

we use our local river sand and laterite as substrate and use PVC pipe with slit of 1/2 in apart.
1.compacting and aeration of substrate is minimized by by MT snails.
2.clogging of filtration is avoided by siphoning water when water change procedure is done via the inlet pipe(connected with the sub pump)

for the last year and half so far no major problem was encountered.
