Have you ever tried natural water purification methods? At one stage, I was working with someone who designed a system with algae in tubes for cleaning the water and he got it working for high density fishkeeping

If you have any links, I'd be happy to take a look.

I don't have any specific links to an entire setup and his was built at home for his own indoor needs but good results were obtained using 3-inch plastic tubes as algae "ponds" with an aeration pump lines from the bottom of the tubes to keep the water moving and cfl bulbs to stimulate algal growth. Obviously you are looking at more immediate solutions but this might be worth tinkering around with for future projects
