Product Description
The Eclipse System Twelve 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 Twelve provides filtration, lighting and maintenance. It is easy to install and operate. No tubing or noisy air pumps are required. The included twelve 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 150gph. 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 wet/dry biological filter, it provides bacteria more oxygen than any underwater biological filtration. More oxygen means more bacteria working many times harder to keep your

 Motor doesnt last that long but nice otherwise July 22, 2010
M. Martinez
Right now I have 3 angelfish and 1 pleaco. I love that it is quiet and easy to maintain. Just change the filter and part of the water every month or so. Well, and feed the fish. I've never had a heater in it. It has kept a temp of about 77. I turn the light on when I'm at work and off when I leave. Must be the motor keeping it warm. Speaking of which the filter motor died last week, and I had to replace it. I love, love, love this tank! I got this tank as a gift about 3 or 4 years ago. It has been set up on my desk since I received it. I have had live plants and various fish. Sometimes a betta and a few corys.
Faulty filter? July 15, 2010
Nicole L. Strack
I just purchased the 3 gallon tank of this for my female betta. It's cute and has lots of space. However if you fill the tank past the line as indicated by the directions, the water will leak out from the rim. In order to get the bio-wheel going, you have to follow the directions exactly. Make sure everything's in place and then you'll see the wheel start spinning. So far it's a great place to home any small fish you might have...my only complaint is that the filter is too noisy. Maybe my filter's just faulty or something. I don't know about any other customers who've had this problem. :) But that's an easy fix so it's not so bad. Overall pretty good for the price!
 Good Small Tank July 7, 2010

I bought this tank in Jan '09 and its still running great. I think some of the other reviewers don't realize you have to clean the impeller shaft in the pump monthly to prevent the motor from burning out (this is true for ANY aquarium pump).
Very Well designed one Stop Aquarium set up! July 4, 2010

I received the hex aquarium today and I couldn't be happier.
Bought my two gold fish after I ordered the fish tank over a week ago.
The deliver from the vendor is kinda slow so I bought a one gallon fish bowl and put the two gold fishes in it.
Boy, I have to change the water every single day because gold fishes poop a lot despite my cautious effort to feed them very sparingly.
So I am very relieved today when the hex tank finally arrived.
Went to the pet store to buy me a couple of plants, some blue colored rocks to accent the gold fish color, and also bought a tiny air pump and a windmill-spinning air bubbler.
Went home to set the whole tank up and fill up the water and add some water conditioner that come with the fish tank, plug everything on and voila!
I waited for an hour to put the two gold fishes in it and they couldn't be happier with the new location.
I say go for it if you want a decent size fish tank to house two or three fishes.
This is a very well thought-out design for a fish tank, down to the placement of electrical cables and available holes for the optional air hose and heater.
I have had many fish tanks and fishes when I was a little boy and this is by far the best tank I own.
I am planning to buy an algae eater fish and maybe one more black gold fish and the tank is complete.
I noticed some reviewer put a betta fish in this big tank, I think that's just overkill because betta is very zen most of the time and does not need a space this big to swim around.
I recommend putting some more energetic species like gold fishes that provide you some entertainment with their funny antics.

meant to say activated carbon instead of charcoal, but either way you can save money buying bonded filter pad which you can change more often because of price.
oh yeah, for the kids, don't overfeed your fish. it's better to underfeed them than overfeed them in my opinion. :-)
