Yeah probably keeps things clean at the bottom... excellent idea.Don't forget the reverse flow undergravel filter!!!
Paul, Did you add the two six line wrasses at the same time?

Interesting. I would love to have a pair of them... little bit of a roll of the dice but hmmm..No I did not. I think I had one for a year or more before I got the second one.
Atoll, Thanks. That broom video was posted, (probably by you) a few times when my tank was 40 years old. Great video.
EagleEye, Thank you. There are so many Old Wifes Tales floating around these forums that you would think everybody has an old wife.
Much of the stuff posted boggles my mind and it is fairly boggled most of the time anyway. I am surprised anybody is able to keep a tank. Some of the practices just seem ridiculous especially with many of the things people do to poor new fish. Dipping, medicating, observing, quarantining, then medication again then hiring bag pipe players to play Taps when they croak.
If I was a fish (and part of me is) I would exercise just so I get strong enough to jump out and hopefully fall head first on a tile floor near a hungry cat who has irritable Bowell disease
Just leave the fish alone, feed him correctly, then ignore him and he will be fine.
Of course I am not the God of fish so you may not want to take advice from me as I am so lucky that in 50 years I have never introduced ich, velvet, intestinal worms or any number of things I can't pronounce much less spell to my tank but the day is not over yet.
I am taking my wife to our old neighborhood today and will go to a large LFS, so maybe I will buy something infested with all of those afflictions so I can dip, medicate and quarantine.
That will give me the opportunity to turn on the gas on my oven and stick my head in there while I fall asleep reading page 42 in my book. ;Meh
Although all of my fish up to this point have been freshwater, I have never quarantined fish ever, or done any stupid dip treatments. Heck, I can’t remember the last time any of my fish got sick!Atoll, Thanks. That broom video was posted, (probably by you) a few times when my tank was 40 years old. Great video.

No. You should not use a reverse undergravel filter with sand. It will clog in no time. The crushed coral should work. No need for a HOB but you will need a powerhead for circulation and another, smaller one to run the RUGF which should be run very slow.What kind of equipment would you use to achieve this in a 20g? Would a reverse UG with sand and crushed coral then a hob and powerhead do a similar effect?
