if you want a cheap canister filter try to check this site aquatraders.com they have a canister for 39.99 plus tax and shipping. it would come out to be around $55. I bought two and they work good. they look similar to the jebo brand. the brand on this one is oddysea
ive tried scrubbing the whole thing down with a tooth brush
its just time for the filter to go. and i wanted a cansiter anyways. im thinkin about unplugging my overflow. but then i would have to do all this **** and move the tank. and i have no where to put my fish
