I would like to get suggestions on some kind of DIY that could filter or Polish the water from my sump/settling tank to get the detritus out quickly and return the water to the sump.
Something I could do weekly in between my monthly water change.


I tried running it threw a doubled up filter sock into a Brut can and then back in.
It did remove some but the water was not clear and looked a little dirty.


Suggestions on ways to polish this water more before going back in the system.
 
Not sure if it will work but what about a small pump hooked into a canister filter. Most filter socks are 100 micron. And a sediment can be a lot lower. Maybe try a 10 micron.
 
Cut a water bottles bottom off, fill with poly fill, attach it to a power head and Pug it in, filters and polishes nicely.
