Probably a Penn Plax Cascade canister filter. If its short-term, look into a hang-on like AquaClear.

Theyll be in the pond for summers once we get it situated , but for the winter theyll be inside , but i plan on keeping the tank completely operational , so long time lol , either the cascade 1000 or the hw-303b ..

At one point, Odyssea were great filters but the main site importing them has shut down. As for SunSun, those are mostly clones of Fluvals, so I wouldn't expect much either.

A couple of years ago, PetSmart had some great deals on Fluvals, I think the FX6 were more than half off.

Can't hurt to ask. Most pet stores (even big chains) don't seem to carry a wide variety anymore.
