    Default False Bottom and Filter?

    I've been told before that you can set up a false bottom with an under gravel filter underneath to keep it frog getting smelly and keep it cleaner, does anyone know how to set it up exactly? I don't want to try to figure it out myself and end up having to completely re-do it lol

    I have a few false bottoms and none of them smell at all. Well, thats not entirely true. They smell like greenhouses.

    I am using a small filter underneath my false bottom. It may be overkill but I had an extra one lying around so I figured it couldn't hurt. It is on my first viv that was just set up today, so I can't comment on it's necessity.

    i dont understand what a filter would do for ur false bottom? Where do u filter the water to? Isnt the false bottom supposed to just keep your soil out of the water? Once u get enuf water down there, you drain it out..... its basically waste water imo. I throw mine away at least. I dont know how u would incorporate a filter into that process, unless u were then pumping the water into or thru a water feature or something?
