part time filter

Ok, I am up and running with the tank now, but there are all the fines floating around in there, the HOB from the 20 gallon hospital tank with filter floss installed does not seem to do to much, or more so, I don't expect it to accomplish what is needed, so I am looking for suggestions on what would be the best buy to accomplish water polishing. Should I purchase a cannister type filter or perhaps somthing else? I am thinking I will need to run carbon at least once a month to keep nice clear water but I am not sure what I should use to administer this...again a cannister type filter or maybe just a sock on the main drain from the DT. Can I add a sock with filter floss to the main drain from the DT to capture the fine particales? I really want to do this right....and I certainly want crystal clear water, so what ever it takes to accomplish this I will do....just need some advice on the BEST way to do it. Thanks in advance.
