Never heard of the filter, but it could be OK, just make sure you lubricate the O-ring and clean the impeller frequently to keep it running well.

Link to your internal filter isnt working, but I would use both. That external wouldn't be able to cope with much of a fish load on your tank, but would be very good to supplement filtration if you keep your internal (if your still cycling, changing filters would be a bad idea anyway unless you can put all of the internals media into the external, it wouldn't be getting as high a flow over it as the bacterial colony would be used to though).

Yeah, he has just started a fish-in cycle not too long ago, but for his tank and "bio-load", that one internal filter he has is not going to be enough, so that is why he needs another one to run with the one he has.
