The first filter is a pond filter and just gets the big bits out. Then settling it until it looks clear gets most of the rest out. I then put it through fine woven voile ( a fine net type fabric ).which appears to be finer than my in-line filter.

I suppose I should try and find out how fine it is.

Honestly, the settling is the the most important bit mate, stand it in a clear tub for a week!..

Dont rush to put it in the tank.
