@Reefing_addiction
Normal undergravel pulls the water down through the substrate. Causes all your detritus and stuff to accumulate under the plastic.
Instead you push the water down the tubes and it comes up through the substrate. Keeps detritus suspended so that your HOB filter can effectively remove it.

Ok so then hook up a pump of some sort to push water down through the tubes?

My powerheads have a forward and reverse. I'll put them on the lift tubes and throw them in reverse to push rather than pull water

Why not just put them in backwards?

 

[fishguy242]

These are what I an using. Love them for this type of thing. I'm using the 50's. Only the 50's and 70's have the reverse feature.
