Speaking of stainless steel mesh. Has anyone here made anything like one of these?

They 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 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS3UdYphk9I&feature=related

This guy has a pretty wild setup. Far more elaborate than I am planning.
