I have a low tech proceedure that I am using when water clarity gets very bad with fine particles. Take a plastic laundry basket and line it with Polyester knit fabirc. Clamp fabric in place with large metal paper clips. Place the basket underneath the falls to catch the flow of water. Place weight in basket to keep it secure (rock,brick etc)
I also place a piece of nu-foam sometimes into the filter basket
to catch additional debris & particles.
I am doing both since yesterday and still having clarity issues since the clean out.
Here is a pic of the basket in place. As you can see the fabic has trapped quite a bit of yucky stuff.
