For a 10' section you could buy two smokin canister filters.
 
dont tear up your current fillters.

I would find three 5-gallon buckets, that is water tight, and then build this filter.

use this as the bucket, connect them togeter with pvc, and then use a pump at the end to pump it through

this filter didnot work any longer so i tore the pump out of it. it leaks and after lots of reading i learned this model is prone to leak. i got it for free and all ready tore it apart. i am also thinking about trying the buckets it may be much cheaper for parts and lots larger.

Too bad.
Good news is all you have learned.
I have always picked up, “Tricks-n-Procedures” on a build.
Quite often more knowledge on the projects that didn`t work.
