I finished putting in a homemade bog filter last night and it really cleaned up the water. It is simple with water flowing through boxes of gravel that I will plant over the next week. I am planning on using this type of filtration for my 1/10 acre pond.
Here is the system.

This is the filter half completed.
Filter draining into the trout tank.
You can see some of the perch by the pump. Before today I had to drain the water to see them.
Here is the whole rig. I had to use hardware fabric to filter the water coming in from the trout tank as there was too much FA coming in.
I also moved the submerisble aquarium heater placing it horizontal. When the perch crowd the bottom of the tank to get near the heater they dont touch it now, which I think killed about 8 perch since I put in the heater. No perch have died since I changed the heater orientation.
