I'm about to put together a 35 gallon planted tank and I was going to use very fine stainless steel screen over UGF plates so I can use fine plant substraight. Is the UGF a bad idea, even if water mainly only flows through the 30% "bare" area of the tank? Will it improve nutrient getting to roots? Lessen anerobic bacterial growth? Thank you. Peter
