Re: undergravel filter
No you do not need an undergravel filter in a marine system, but, you could use the plate with uplift holes sealed for a plenum type system. see helpful articles for newbies and new systems. you will find helpful information there on the various system types. you will need to decide if you want to do a berlin type system, jeubert type, system, natural, or a combination of. so do your reading and then back here with questions. Thanks for the question. others may weigh in here also. good luck. keep us posted on your progress.
