FiltrationHardware Specification
Undergravel Filter
An older filtration style consisting of a slotted plastic plate beneath the gravel substrate, connected to vertical uplift tubes powered by air bubbles or powerheads.
Primary Biological & Physical Purpose
Uses the gravel bed as a biological filtration surface while drawing water through the substrate.
Operational Mechanics & Physics
Draws water down through the gravel bed, where nitrifying bacteria consume waste, and pushes the filtered water back up through the vertical tubes.
Maintenance & Longevity Protocol
Requires regular, thorough gravel vacuuming to prevent detritus and fish waste from clogging the gravel bed and choking biological filtration.
