I am looking at getting one of these as my first tank.

JBJ Rimless Desktop 10g Penninsula w/Lyra 9w Bar LED

http://www.amazon.com/JBJ-Rimless-De...mless+aquarium

It appears the filter can be completely removed if it is insufficient(seems to be ok though and has a spot for a heater). The lights sound useless since a timer will not work with them, I may be able to DIY them but I am willing to buy another light.

My main question is, does anyone have experience with this brand? Are they reliable, any stories of the seams leaking? I have searched and only found a little bit of information on them.

If you own one and use the filter would I be able to fit a power head on the filter side, or is this just not a good idea for flow? Am I stuck having a power head on the opposite side of the filter for optimal flow?

I plan on making a build thread once I gatherer a little more information on a few items, but the tank is obviously most important.
