canister filter / mudskippers

i have a 30 gallon with indian mudskippers.. it usually has about 5 gallons of water in it. I have in internal filter in there turned sideways, but it takes up alot of room, and lots of times it gets clogged with detritus causing it to make an awful noise, or stop pulling water altogether. also, since the compartments inside aren't very well isolated, i have to rinse detritus off of everything on the inside and i fear i am losing bacteria.

i want to get a canister but i am not sure 1) that it will fix my problems and 2) if the amount of turnover will cause any problems? for instance, the marineland canisters are 350gph.. that is like.. 70 times an hour the water is getting turned over..

any help? thanks.

you don't have the issues that I mention? The skippers are messy and they are always kicking up sandstorms and slopping food from one end of the tank to another..
