My two new Jebo filters arrived yesterday, 12/21. I decided on this filter because it was cheap and it looked like the Eheim. I know both are like night and day with Eheim being better but I didn't want to spend a ton of money on canisters. I'm not a canister guy anymore. Since I got the sump, I love them but I'm limited to space so for now I have these and so far they seem great.

I got them off of EBAY for $94 each, free shipping.

They claim 400 gph and seem to move some water. They also came loaded with floss, carbon, etc.

Filters and very quiet, since they are both in my room, they need to be.

Only thing I had a complaint about is the hoses have a hard crimp in them and takes a while to work out because they are packed so tight. Yes the plastic parts are flimsy so you got to be easy. They also come with a spray bar which I don't use, plenty of suction cups and a sealant.

I guess you can't tell from the video, but the filters are whisper quiet, no motor sounds like the Marineland 360's I had and two pumps on the primer and the filter was pumping.

Thanks for the setup pics and video.

I highly recommend that you 'fix' the kinks in the hoses, either through running hot water through them until the kinks are gone or by trimming the hoses to eliminate them. It can be very difficult to remove the kinks if they are permanently deformed.
