I always run one on temporary tanks, and tanks I keep live rock in. I typically use "matured" rubble rock, and a piece of foam, and treat them as mini sumps.
Most everyone is a aquaclear fan, but they are horrible for restarting correctly after a power loss, my marineland HOB's never have that issue. I have now maxijet powerheads attached to their intakes as the pump motors to push more gph but you'll never get the right intank flow from them, so you'll have to compensate with a intank powerhead.
