Howdy, experienced ponders, from Fort Worth. Here's my 220 gallon pond
last year, sans fish: http://artships.com/fountain.jpg

Powered by a Little Giant PCL-025 475GPH pump,

in the filter box, FMS-20,
http://tinyurl.com/3lpcm

It was Just Fine when it was all just for looks and little sound.
Since
the comets, though... Not so much. Now I want more water going over
the
falls, and none of that pea soup, either. And generally clearer
water,
without what looks like suspended dust.

According to Little Giant's website, I should be able to connect the
existing pump to a better filter, the PF300,
http://tinyurl.com/5e44o (it looks to be a Little Giant).
I know I can bump-up the waterfall volume a touch by replacing the
hose
with a slightly larger diameter.

My main question is, will the pf300 filter with the 475GPH pump
clear-up
the water? Or, should I build a skippy filter into the lowest of the
brownish plant beds? If so, how much more pump will I need to drive
it?
1000gph (I'm guessing because 475GPH just doesn't seem like very
much)?
Feel free to chime in with, "The best filter is..." and ditto with a
pump.

Possibilites abound, paralyzing selection. But you've all been there.

Actually , the Little Giant filter is a a Pond Filtration filter,
with the Little Giant name on it. There was a contract with Little
Giant to sell PondFiltration filters under thier name. Due to certain
circumstances, this is no longer happening. But the Filter is patented
by Pond Filtration.
