Is there ANY way to make a pond filter out of one of these?


My idea....

Drill a whole on the bottom, attach the water intake so water forced its way upward by a pump. I will have a layer of sand first, separated by a Plexiglas sheet with dozens of holes so the water can continue up. On that second layer, I will have scrubbies and bags of charcoal. The last layer will be fine gravel with plants planted in it. The water will pour out of holes drilled in the front and just fall into the pond. I dont know exactly how Im going to construct it yet but will this concept work?
 
Sounds good in theory... but you did not mention an overflow. I say go for it! Just keep us posted on progress with pictures.
