That looks a decent filter, I’ll check on the video now.I've been looking at this. PondGuru youtube shows it has reasonably large media volume Hang On Filters - Allpondsolutions
I do like the tidal one, I may get that style one. You think it will be ok on a shallow tank? I use a canister filter normally but fed up cleaning lily pipes at the moment to want something quick and easy.I was a bit dissapointed with the APS one, it's a pain to prime.
Much prefer the Seachem Tidal, super little filter, if a little more expensive.
Horses for courses I guess, be a boring place if we were all the same. My APS one started making some funny noises after a few months too, despite me cleaning the impeller etc..I have used the APS filter and it was great for me, I much prefer the outlet assembly as it is adjustable, has a spray bar etc much like a standard external.
