How do you filter your 300 gallon rubbermaids ???

[Bgonz]

Ok guys I'm looking for some quick and simple ideas to filter a rubbermaid cattle bucket. I'll drill holes in the side I dont care. I am leaning towards gravity fed filter with pump return but am open for any ideas. Also any good koi pond filters out there like the cyrio or laguna ???

Dont be bashful Ideas please.



Thanks.........

I have a 350 gal trough. I run two Fx5s as prefilters. Their outlets run to the top of a 55 gal barrel. There is a few pvc pipes that runs into with holes drilled in every direction. They spray over about 40 gals worth of pot scrubbers. It then drains out a hole and 3" pvc pipe back into the pond. I put a nylon mesh screen over the outlet hole to keep the scrubbers in the filter. Works great.

if you are not keen about using a sump i would use a couple of FX5's I use one on my pool for my puppy stingrays and it is great.

Here is a simple barrel filter that I use. It works pretty good:
