Hubby made a filter from a sump pump tank he got at Lowes. The inside has a mesh laundry bag full of the kitchen scrubbies that you get for the teflon pots and pans. Works great. We are just waiting for some of the plants to grow up around it more to cover it.

I can't remember how much it cost us, but I remember that it saved us a bundle. It works very well too. The funny part was going to the different Walmarts within a 30 mile radius to buy up all their displays of scrubbies - people looked at us funny, but only 1 person asked us what we were making.
