re-did my 12 eclipse with a 5.5 gallon glass tank

[markandkristen]

got tired of all the scractches on my 12 gallon eclipse so i sprung for a $9 dollar tank (5.5 ) gallon.

i had bought the 40 watt light a month ago and was concerned about the heighth its like 16 inches compared to 8-9 inches on the 5.5 gallon.

so now im around 5-6x watts per gallon which i think is better.

it kinda sits over the edges.... its plumbed to my 150

i converted a hang on the back filter a while back to a overflow box

how is it plumbed to the 150?

we share the same sump. i used a water tap in like the icemaker uses from walmart on my return. just enough flow . it does like 20 gallons an hour. perfect.
