Best way to elminiate fish waste?

[Brutus]

I want to use an external pump that feeds from a bottom drain to a filter, trickle tower, and then a water fall and from what I've heard it is beast to removed the fish waste from the mixture before it reaches the pump and gets pureed so I was just wondering what peoples methods were in doing so. Im still just in the planning stages for my first pond and trying to learn as much as I can before I start so my entire setup can be modified or rearranged if people think something else would be more effecient. :surfing: I also plan on using another filter that brings in water from a skimmer feeds to a filter and then to a couple of jets. Please help with any ideas or experiences!
