BTW with regards to the SEBO back hanging internal filter, I currently have one of those running on my very small tank at the office, ist only about 30 liters. When I first install it I was not that impressed and I felt it was not going the job. Then I took out the silly cartridges they have in their, I filled the left hand side with a couple of ceramics and replaced the cartridges with a bag of activated. That worked perfectly. All I do is take out the bag of carbon once a month a rinse it and put it back and then do a 25% water change as well. How ever I would not use this type of filter on anything bigger, I don't have much faith in them.

You could also consider building your own filters, their are many projects on Youtube to do this. Especially on Joey's channel. I am seriously thinking of building my next canister filter on my own. I am sick and tired of purchasing expensive canister filters every couple of years because spares are no longer available.

If its Mbuna then you might be ok with that tank, you will just have to monitor and see how it goes
Yes, plants do help with filtration to a certain extent but there has to be a balance between the amount and size of fish versus how much the plants contribute to the filtration
Again you will have to monitor and see as the tank develops and the fish grow, if the filtration and the plants are still coping

As I mentioned the other day, what your tank starts off as today, is not what it will be in a yea's time
Fish grow and maybe multiply so you always have to keep that in mind and be prepared to have to upgrade the filtration if the need arises
