Re: There is some risk. You might ask the seller (none / 0) (#9)

*chuckles* Funny you mention the UG filter backing up... I remember a tank I had when I was a kid... we had an under-gravel filter paired with a waterfall-type filter in it, and the UG was never.. NEVER cleaned. My mom was the one who took care of it, and I never knew any better, but you know.. to my memory, we never had any sick fish, and they rarely died. And there was an assortment in there, not just hardy fish. And come to think of it, that same tank now resides in my dad's house, and I'm willing to bet the bottom of it has never been cleaned out. Not even in between houses.

You know, I'm actually going to have to ask my dad about that one. That's an odd thought. o.O
