Product Description
The Eclipse System Six provides a unique combination of beauty, precision and 3-stage total filtration efficiency for freshwater or marine aquariums. It is a fascinating showpiece for your home, office, or anywhere. The Eclipse System provides filtration, lighting and maintenance. It is easy to install and operate. No tubing or noisy air pumps are required. The included six gallon, curved front aquarium is made of injection-molded acrylic and it is designed and crafted to provide 360 degrees of clear viewing enjoyment.In the Eclipse 3-stage filtration system, water is pumped from the aquarium through the filter cartridge and then to the patented BIO-Wheel at the certified flow rate of 75gph. This ensures 100% water-to media contact without bypass. The hinged Access Panel opens effortlessly for easy feeding, maintenance and quick media changes.The Eclipse Filter Cartridge supplies both mechanical and chemical filtration. For mechanical filtration, there's a polyfiber filter pad to trap dirt and debris like uneaten food and fish waste. For chemical filtration, each cartridge is packed with Black Diamond Premium Activated Carbon. Chemical Filtration uses activated carbon to adsorb dissolved pollutants which can cause discoloration and odor.Biological Filtration is the most important kind of filtration. It depends on a culture of bacteria to help get rid of ammonia and nitrite that build up in aquarium water. The bacteria changes the harmful ammonia and nitrite into harmless nitrate, which is removed with a partial water change.The patented Eclipse BIO-Wheel is the undisputed best when it comes to biological filtration. As the BIO-Wheel rotates, it contacts water and air and provides bacteria with oxygen they need to grow, flourish and remove more ammonia. Because the BIO-Wheel is a wetdry biological filter, it provides bacteria more oxygen than any underwater biological filtration. More oxygen means more bacteria working many times harder to keep your tank ammonia-f

 Great tank March 8, 2010
Brett Fagan (Honolulu)
This tank is quiet, has a great shape, keeps my water crystal clear and seems much bigger than 12 gallons. I highly recommend it.
 looks nice but broke within a year. February 28, 2010
Michelle C (Las Vegas, NV)
I had this aquarium for just under a year when the electrical light casing broke (the tan part). It had turned a dark brown (burnt) color and cracked in two, which exposes it to the water and condensation. I noticed it one day when the light would not turn on. Basically it became a fire hazard. I contacted the company and they did not care about the light casing spitting open. I offered to send them pictures. Not to mention the filter amount decreased over the year to nearly nothing. Yes I routinely cleaned it, and changed the filter. I no longer had the receipt so they would not replace it. oh well--I should have kept the receipt. My biggest problem is they did not care about the fire hazard.
Good points- It has a nice seamless look. The water was always clear.
Other cons-The opening to feed the fish is small. I question how well the filter works but I never had a problem with the water except for occasional algae build up. I never over fed the fish and I only kept a few fish given the small size.
Would (and did) purchase again. February 11, 2010

Nice little tank. It's my second. It is so small that it's difficult to find a small enough heater. So last time i tried to heat it with a small lamp placed next to it. That melted the plastic a bit, causing a leak. This time I found a small heater & couldn't be happier with it.
Have had mine over 2 years and highly recommend it. February 7, 2010
Chris H. (,OH,U.S.A.)
I have been thinking of getting a veil-tail Betta fish and wouldn't think of keeping one in a little jar or bowl,so I came here looking for a 1-2 gallon aquarium,and realized I never left a review for my acrylic Marineland Eclipse System 12,12 gallon aquarium.
I have to say that I am totally satisfied with mine. My only complaint is that I didn't start with a 29-30 gallon,instead,but they cost considerably more than glass tanks, but you never have to worry about leaks,as they are seamless and they weigh a lot less.
I keep my home at 78 degrees,so I had to take the heater out as I could never get it cool enough. I clean it every 10-14 days,and the water stays crystal clear with a wall of bubbles,air stone,(not a wand which clogs). All the pet shops carry the system 12 filters.I get the 3-pk for $9.98 which you change once a month,rinsing the filter out when cleaning the tank,in between the monthly filter change. Just remember, do not rinse off the bio-wheel,as you want the beneficial bacteria which lives in it.
I highly recommend acrylic aquariums,and happily vouch for the Marineland Eclipse system. Excellent quality.
 A little disappointed January 21, 2010

So far the tank is beautiful all set up and we have not had any problems but it did not arrive in great condition.
The plastic lid was cracked and instead of messing with the huge hassle of returning/exchanging the very large item, my handy hubby was able to glue the shard back on that had snapped off in transit. Now the lid itself seems to be warped and does not sit flush on the tank. If we were ever to have any very sneaky, jumpy fish, they might be able to escape as there is a gap in the back corner of the tank.
Other than that, it is beautiful and we like the seemlessness of the acrylic over the glass tank. Can get other complete tank sets for A LOT less but we like the look of this one and all the filters etc being in the lid and not taking up space in the back of the tank. Wish it came with a heater and thermometer and net for the price you pay...
