Do you guys think this would be plenty to keep my water clean?
Nope. You need biological filtration along with mechanical. Otherwise your fish will die of ammonia poisoning.
Sounds like you're trying to reinvent the wheel. There are simple systems that you can build yourself that will do the job. Why take the chance on something that won't work?
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
