Hmm... near the window, you might want to introduce plants like Money Plant; plant it in Hydroton beads (to prevent your goldfish from nipping away the roots)

Hope to see your setup soon! Trying posting it in the Articles, Resources & FAQs -> Tank or Tub Setup for Goldfish thread

If possible leave all the medias alone, unless you have a severe outbreak of diseases..den I think it will be good to clean all medias with aged water so as to preserve the bbs.

Noted Bro Kit,

was looking at the BHs and media, seemed to have turned darker in color, yellowish etc, so i presume they have matured and not dirty or trapped with dirt

Hi All, abit of update after a while. Added one filtering cube on OHF's pipe for better (hopefully), add a low tech canister as well (though of replacing the powerhead of DIY filterbox with this... can save bit of electric but scare the waterflow affected...)

picture taken just now:
