This filter has been running flawlessly on my son's well stocked 5 gallon tank for a couple months now. No problems after you get it all put together and running.
It's a little messy to get it started, but seems to be working like a champ. I added a sponge prefilter to the intake, and I haven't even opened the main filter yet; it still looks fairly clean inside.
Based on the flow rate I wouldn't recommend this as the only filter on a 10 or 20 gallon tank, but maybe a 10 if you don't use the sponge prefilter.
This filter is so whisper quiet you have to lean over it to hear anything. It's silly quiet.
