Thanks for the reply
I actually have an external filter, anyone have this setup?

your
pump?


I have my pump sitting on a piece of light grate a couple inches
off the bottom of a 5 gallon paint bucket. Lava rocks fill the area

around
the pump up to just below the top. I have drilled the top full of
1/2" holes to let the water in.
Every couple of years I pull it out and pour the muck off and
put it back to work.
My water is crystal clear all the way to the bottom 4 feet deep.
