This is how it works for me. The longer I leave it in my tank uncleaned, the slower the bubbles climb. The bubbles are really tiny by the time they reach the top of the ladder.

I don't know why the directions would suggest placing the outlet half way up. Put it at the bottom. I don't think you'll poison anything with it. It works well in my 10g. It should work great in a 5g.
