Do you use a section of the sump? A seperate tank? What size compared to the main tank?
I have been running marine tanks on and off for over thirty years. I had a UGF in my 30g for years. For a while in the early days instead of vacuuming the gravel I used to clean the dolomite substrate by taking out the fish setting up a canister filter and reversing the flow through the UGF. What a mess. I always pondered the idea of a permenent RUGF but have never actually read about anyone actually doing it.
I just moved and am setting up a new 90g with a sump in the basement. What would be a good plan of action if I wanted to try a RUGF? I am still in the planning stages so my design is a blank slate.
Teach me!

I might have missed something here--but I think the discussion was around setting up a fluidized sand bed filter as a reverse filter?
I am interested in the answer to this too
