We really need a bit more information. Does your pond have a bottom drain or will the filter be pump-fed? Do you have a skimmer? What kind of stocking level are you planning to have? What sort of maintenance regime are you after?

Got to agree with the other guys. I'd get a solids handling pump to feed it too rather than the fountain pump you seem to have at the moment.

The Oase 10.1 is a filter filled with foam ... and as such is not the best thing to use for a pond filled with "poop generators". The 10.1 generally costs between £150 and 200 and the easy pod around £350 ... and for that sort of money (between 200 - 350) there are better complete options around. Complete meaning separate mechanical and biological stages and easier (less labour intensive) to clean
Probably the very best option, for such a small pond, is to build your own filter, but as this can be a bit hit or miss (without appropriate knowledge), buying a production filter is probably a better bet for someone just entering the game.
have a look at these, choose one and then shop around for the best price ....

There are probably more examples in that price range, but hopefully you get the idea.
Hope that helps ... good luck.

That or an eazy pod will do fine... a fair bit more cleaning maintainance will be needed with the Kockney Koi filter as oppossed to the eazyness of cleaning the Pod!
