Product Description

Size: 12-gallon

Amazon.com Product Description

The fully integrated and self-contained Marineland Eclipse Seamless Integrated Aquarium System is a great way for beginner hobbyists to start building an underwater environment. Perfectly sized for counters, desktops, shelves, stands, or other areas with limited space, the Eclipse System is easy to install, operate, and maintain. It’s perfect for raising fresh-water or marine fish at home, your office, or anywhere else you enjoy the calming influence of aquatic life. All filtration media is contained inside the top of the unit, allowing you to place the aquarium against a wall for maximum exposure. The patented BIO-Wheel 3-stage filtration system never needs replacing. A top-mounted motor filters all water through the high-performance, quick-change Eclipse Rite-Size filter cartridge and then to the BIO-Wheel at a rate of 150 gallons per hour, which results in 100% water-to-media contact, creating excellent water quality and a healthy environment for plants and fish. You’ll have unlimited and unhindered access to the entire aquarium. The specially selected fluorescent daylight bulb encourages healthy plant growth and enhances the colors of your fish without overheating the water or drawing a lot of electrical power. The leakproof acrylic tank is gently curved in front to offer you a 360-degree viewing panorama. The BIO-Wheel never clogs or breaks down. The safe, silent epoxy-sealed motor requires no maintenance or oiling. No loud air pumps, valves, tubes, or hoses are required. Plug the contoured light hood into any standard household outlet. A convenient front-access port allows easy feeding. Premium fish food, tap water conditioner, and beginner’s fish-keeping guide are also included.

Product Description

The top-mounted, three-stage system combines simple, elegant styling with superior performance efficiency. All water is filtered through the high-performance Eclipse Rite-Size Filter Cartridge and then directed to the patented Marineland BIO-Wheel. The result: 100% water-to-media contact for excellent water quality, and a healthier environment for plants and fish. Easy to install, easy to operate, the Eclipse System provides unlimited, unhindered access to the entire aquarium. The specially selected fluorescent daylight bulb is ideal for plant growth and ornamental fish color enhancement. And because all filtration media is inside the top mounted unit, it has minimal rear space requirements for against-the-wall placement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little aquarium, May 6, 2005
By Ask Bjørn Hansen (Los Angeles, CA, United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This is a great starter aquarium. Order a book or two about having fish when you order the aquarium too and wait a week before getting fish.

In years past you'd have all sorts of work with the filters and such. With the bio-wheel that comes with this tank your only work is to occasionally replace the "physical filter" and do a partial water change. That's it! The tank also comes with a beautiful light that'll really make your fish shine.

You will need some gravel too and some plants and maybe a stone or two for the fish to hide behind. The gravel and such are best picked up at your local pet store. Start out with plastic plants rather than live plants; you'll have plenty to do anyway.

In my experience things are easier if you have a heater too. The fish likes the water temperature to be constant. I've been using a 150w heater with good success in this tank.

Let the tank run with the heater for a day or two to get the temperature stable. When you add your first fish, start out with just a few small fish (actually, in a 12 gallon tank you should always only have small fish, little tetras and such -- don't worry, they are beautiful) to get the bio-wheel going. Your books will explain it, but it takes some time for the biological processes to get going in the tank and keep things in balance, so the water can get poisonous quickly for your fish if you add too many. (Get a packet of test strips to test the water quality daily -- it's just when you get started, later the bio-wheel will keep things steady unless you keep too many fish in the tank).

I can also recommend getting another tank, maybe a 3 gallon tank, to keep new fish in before they go in the main tank. (Of course that only works if you keep small fish, with bigger fish the 12 gallon tank would be your quarantine tank...) :-)

Good luck!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, June 12, 2005
I have owned a system 3 for almost 6 years now! If there was 1 word to describe this it would be: Effortless.
This is a fine piece of machinery that looks and runs great, for years to come.

Maintenence:
-Change the filter every 1-3 months (depending on the clenliness of your fish and the nuber you have)
-25% water change every time you change the filter or every other time (again, depending on your fish
-I also reccomend a gravel cleaner
-About once every 8 months to a year, I have to clean out the impeller housing to clean out the junk that builds up because of reduced performance.(manual shows step by step instructions on how to do this, and if you loose your manual, go to marineland.com to download one for free)

Cons-
none really, but it is quite small. Recently I have been looking at the system 6 or 12.
*I'm not sure about how it would do with salt water, as I have not tried, but reading reviews I have not heard very positive things about that.
*After having it for about 5 years, white crust started to show up on the edged of the tank lip. One more thing to clean, but what can I say? I have nothing to complain about though, because you can look at other 6 year old systems and they would look like junk, where as mine is in perfect condition(except for the little ECLIPSE marking on the front is half worn off from use!)

All in all, I have been happy with this tank from day one and I'm sure will continue to be happy with it for years to come(if I don't upgrade, that is!) and I would definetly reccomend this to anybody wanting a quick to set up, long lasting, all in one machine that looks stylish. I hope this helps!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Small Aquarium, December 8, 2005
By Vyshtia (CA, USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
I think this is an Excellent Small to Midrange Aquarium set. I've been using this aquarium for 3 years now and am very pleased with it.

It is an acrylic tank - not glass, so that's the first factor to consider. The difference is that it will be lighter than a glass tank but acrylic can get all scratched up when you're trying to do stuff like scrape algae off - just be careful to not scrub so hard or use abrasive cleaners that can scratch or smoke up the acrylic.

I think that 12 gallons is a perfect size for a small area. You can have one larger fish in there, or several small ones. The 12 gallon size gives you a good amount of space so you have more options on what kind and how many fish you want to keep in there.

The hinged lid houses the filtration and lighting system while keeping the aquarium covered so that things don't inadvertently fall in, or critters getting out. I think a good lid is very important for a fish tank, sometimes things drop in, sometimes critters try to get out...and if you want eels - they are notorious escape artists, so you really need to seal up the top of the tank. This lid makes it easier to do so.

The filtration system is one of the best that I've owned. I can't believe how clean it keeps the tank. I only change out the water every 6 months or so, but not because I can see gunk in the tank, but because I know that I should. Actually, I think I'm supposed to clean it more...but the unit runs so perfectly, I just don't see the need...and if I don't see the need, I don't really do it...so the excellent filtration system can be a good or bad thing. My tank is just always so crystal clear, it's wonderful to have such an easy tank to keep up. People are always asking me how I keep my tank looking so clean and perfect, and it's great to know that I don't have to do anything at all! lol, just make sure that the filtration system is plugged in. Of course, I do have to clean the Eclipse carbon filter out every couple of months. That does collect up quite a bit of "gunk". I just rinse out all the gunk and put the cleaned filter back in. After about 6 times of doing this, the filter gets pretty beat up, so I'll replace it. The replacement cartridges are not expensive.

The lighting is great and sufficient to light up the entire tank including some space around it. It's cool to have it in a dark room and have this as the sole lighting. It can act as a night light or whatnot. After 3 years of daily use, I have not had to replace the bulb either.

You have to supply your own gravel, plants, accessories, and of course - the fish. I would highly recommend this aquarium. It's a compact unit for being 12 gallons, the filtration system works perfectly, the light is great, and the panoramic view really showcases your fish well. I have no complaints on this tank whatsoever and would recommend it to anyone.
