Simplicity is its strength. We've added a few optimizations to the platform, like using our Easy Flow air lift system. This was accomplished by using our uplift system, creating a new collar to utilize our weighted air stones, which are included with the kit. Undergravel filters do a great job of filtering particles out of the water and housing beneficial bacteria while maintaining a gentle flow for shrimp, fish, and plants. The sliding design allows you to put the uplifts anywhere in the tank, giving you the ability to hide the uplift in a rock formation or behind your favorite piece of driftwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shopify-section\" id=\"shopify-section-template--15382751707205__description\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-page-content-container product-page-content-description page-width pdp-load-more loaded\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-observe\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"directions product-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"content_title product-section-header\"\u003eDirections\/Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAirstones come with an extra middle section that was meant to be removed at the factory.

We recommend using a substrate that is at least 5mm in size, and adding between 1\" to 2\" in depth. \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note that undergravel systems are not designed to be utilized with sand, soil, or other finer substrates.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach plate measures 2.75\" x 5.5\" (2 7\/8\" x 5 5\/8\" if including the dovetail tabs), and are 9\/16\" thick.
