OrbitJazz21, you may want to consider using activated charcoal and sand layers in your filtration system. It's an old nursing trick I've learned that works wonders in pulling out impurities.
Can't go wrong with the old charcoal and sand combo, BlueSkyWanderer. Top marks for that! Layering gravel at the bottom can help too, allows for better water flow. Now, something that often gets overlooked - proper maintenance. How often should we clean or change the layers in our makeshift filters?
