Thank you for sharing! First video I’ve seen of these filters. I saw them on Alibaba a little over a year ago and wanting to buy one ever since. I saw they just recently started offering them on AliExpress, so hopefully they become more popular. I’ve chatted with the seller before and you can get a single order off alibaba for a little bit cheaper. Besides wanting one for myself I have really wanted to import a big order and feel like you could blow up selling these here in the US for decent profit. Looks like a company here Fzone has recently had my same idea and is about to release them in March. Interesting discovery with the metal oring lip. Sounds like the gap hasn’t caused an issue yet. The only solution I can think of would be to use a product called Sugru. Not sure if you can get it in your country as I know it started as a smaller startup here in the US. However, basically what it is, is kind of like poster puddy, although once you form it and stick it it sets to a softish semiplyable rubber like kind of but not really. You would have to google it to understand. It’s super strong though and I’ve used it to hang a towel bar on the tile in my bathroom and also to mount the two metal light brackets to my painted wall that my pendant light hangs from over my aquarium. Seems crazy but it is super strong stuff and vary versitile sticking to almost anything securely. It’s also not a huge pain to remove by cutting and peeling it off. So in this case you could roll it into a long thin snake then put it in that gap and press it flat to seal between the ring and the canister wall removing any excess. This would fill the void the oring is being pressed into and deforming and also eliminate the sharp edge of the metal ring on that side while still providing a surface for the oring to seal against. If it doesn’t work it would be easy to remove as well. I suppose filling it with silicone might have a somewhat similar affect, however I think the chance of it working would not be nearly as likely and it’s durability wouldn’t hold up in the long run to be worth it. Plus it would be way more of a pain to remove if it did not work. Similar would be a small snake of the metal epoxy puddy that you could roll into a snake, but that stuff is a lot trickier to apply and is pretty permanent so that probably would not be worth the risk.

I have this same filter. I bought it on Amazon and the brand name is Fzone. I have the same problem. There is a large gap between the lip where the oring goes and the side of the canister. Also, the top doesn't fit right. I have to put pressure on it to make it go down and then it's hard to get it off. There is a gap between the lid and the canister as well. I had high hopes for this filter but I don't want to risk it.

You pay that much and you have a big chance of flooding? I love my fluvals, and they work perfectly for over 10 years! Why mess with a great system?

Did you manage to get it working? This is my dream filter haha. Maybe try a flat seal if it didn't work.

After removing the lubrication from the seal the filters are working like a champ! I would recommend them.

At 7:02 on the inside wall you can see on the right side where what I think is the sanded down seam where they joined the cylinder side wall together? Is this noticeable from the outside of the filter?

no, it is very well polished from the outside. The seam is only visible from the inside as you noticed
