Eclipse 5
Anyone use an Eclipse? I have been running the Corner 5 for a while now with 1 tiny fish, some inverts, LR, and coral. I have swapped out the compact flourescent with a 50/50 bulb and added a heater and an air stone to the system. As you probably know the Eclipse claim to fame is that its a fully integrated kit and I just noticed their quote "No unsightly hoses or noisy air pumps." My set up is actually quite unsightly because of the heater and air stone cords. I definately need the heater, but are they claiming I dont need the air stone?? Experiences?

I have an Eclipse 12 bow front & I had to retrofit a 96w Quad PC in the stock hood. Got rid of the original filtration unit & replaced it with a modded AC300 as a mini fuge. Also added a skimmer & 2 powerheads. I don't think you need a airstone in there.
