Cheers for the comments,as for cleaning the filters out,at the moment i clean the brushes and japp matt about every 2 weeks,in the summer it will be every week,but im in the proccess of changing it by making the first bay a lot bigger (in to a vortex)then i wont get so much crapp going in to the brushes then all i have to do is open a gate valve.

I sorta like the block you used less to maintain and you must use pond dye I'm guessing I like the way your air comes up like that looks like a valcano
