I have had all kinds of home mades... and the veggie filter is the easiest and least
time consuming for cleaning, and frankly, cheap.

I suspect that most of us have put together filters of various sorts. Ours
are veggie filters (small ponds with a slow water flow and loads of plants.
The muck settles and the plants and bacteria deal with the nitrites. Ours
get drained (2" bottom drain) each spring. No filter material to clog.
Ours can be seen on our website. Let me or rec.ponds know if you have
details to ask.

Can you do a veggie filter? We think them the easiest. Others may
vehemently disagree.

You will get loads of other suggestions.
