🔍 Lee's Premium 18x48 70/90 Undrgravel Filter Review

I have 3 Lee gravel packs in 3 tanks that all work backwards. Lee's premium is great and gravel packs are generally underrated. I highly recommend them.

As I said, with a 350 GPH engine you need to suck in enough to filter. I watched the particles drift along the bottom without being sucked in through the vents. The reason I did this was because I picked up a lot of dirt while vacuuming the gravel. I was hoping that with my 110 Aqua Clear (which filters…
