A quick Google shows the 205 runs at 680 lph and the 305 at 1000 lph.

You could try filter wool to get the water crystal clear, should do the job.

just put more filter wool/ floss in the filters. Have it as the last filter media and it should trap the fine particles.
Try feeding them pieces of fish or prawn instead of flake or pellets. That should also help reduce the fine particles in the water.
