Won't it Come Off with all the Movement from all the Impeller?
 
not if you make sure its not scrubbing anything i had that problem the first time i tried it just make sure the layer is very thin like finger nail paint thin
 
I ran a cheap dr fosters smith brand hob with the built in surface skimmer for a very long time... I used cut to fit filter material and kept it changed out with every weekly water change and from time to time I would throw a carbon filled filter in for a few days then remove... tank ran perfectly with 0 issues :-)
