Eclipse 5

[shan820]

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.

Then where does the O2 come from for the fish?

bubblers, some algaes make it, gas exchange too im pretty sure, any bubles in your tank are O2 probably
