I had someone else setup my tank initially (45 gal. Fish only with live rock) and they installed an undergravel filter. Since then I've learned that they are sort of antiquated. Last weekend while doing my cleaning/water change, I removed one of the tubes from the ugf to the powerhead and my firefish took the opportunity to swim beneath the ugf. After pulling the whole thing apart twice (persistent little bugger liked it under there). I'm really thinking it's time to get rid of the filter.
How should I prepare? I'm afraid of making a bad thing worse. I really don't have enough live rock and currently have a hob whisper filter and protein skimmer. Should I do half at a time and fill with live rock? I have crushed coral instead of sand. Should I replace one side with live sand and live rock and then repeat?
