Speaking of stainless steel mesh. Has anyone here made anything like one of these?
http://www.newenglandkoi.com/Cetus-Sieve/Cetus-Sieve-Gravity-Fed-p-494.htmlThey are stupidly expensive but from what I can tell they are about as good (easy) as it gets for low maintenance solids removal. I was thinking about getting some 200-300 micron screen and making something like that to strip the solids before the water goes into the bio-filter.
Thoughts?
Edit:
I first saw the sieve in this video
