I am mostly concerned with keeping large particles out of my pump. If
little
stuff makes it to the veggie filter, I won't mind. I posted somewhere
that I
intend to have a fairly shallow veggie filter, so cleaning it should not
be
an issue. So maybe the better question I could have asked is, what is the
best way to keep the large particles down? I want to have a bury-able
solution. I am leaning toward a large rubber made design that will have
the
pump in one end, and the feed in the other. Both separated by some
screening
material.

Like this one?

For $35? Wow...I guess building one is a useless idea.
