Fish Dying

[flukes]

Well i currently have a ug in my 3fter and it seems to be ok, i clean the gravel every day with a gravel vac when doing water changes. But iam sure there still must be nasties underneath the plates, how would i go about back flushing?? Should i stick a power head down the uplifts?? iam guessing this will throw all kinds of dirt and mess into the water and will have to give the filter a good clean afer it cleared??

I think i might wait till iget the new 4fters so i can clean under it proberly with the fish out of the way.
But do i have the right idea of back flushing??

Cheers
Scott

P.S - This is not the only filtration i also have a ehiem canister 2213 and a small sponge filter.

Scott, just get some flexible hosing and stuff it down the uplift tubes and under the plates. Siphon as usual.

I think you will be surprised at the goop that comes out :P

I will never use UGF in any of the tanks here.
