Just thought I would share my tank. Its a 5 gal eclipse, Approx. 12lbs live rock and 6-7 lbs live sand(Just guessing). Current habitants, 1 Blue legged hermit. It has been up and running for about 1 month. Thanks for looking!

Thanks! I have another 5g that ill post pictures of later.

Looks like a good start! Did you upgrade the lighting? Nice rock

I would love to but Im not sure what my options are. The Tank is a 5g Marineland Eclipse. It uses a 12" florescent bulb, all I can find around my LFS, are 8000k which I was told was pretty much a standard bulb. What other options do I have? Preferably with very little or no modifications to my hood. thanks again.


Very nice I like the tonga and the rock in the back with the holes

Thanks! Took a lot of searching to find the right pieces of live rock, the Tonga with the holes in it actually is a break off piece from a 14lb rock I have in my other 5gal.

Are you sure that your tank is 5 gallons? The only reason I ask is that I went to Marinland's website to check some specs and I only saw a 3 gallon, 6 gallon and 12 gallon. The only 5 gallon that I saw was a hex. http://www.marineland.com/products/cons ... ystems.asp

Anyways, this retro may fit you tank, and would probably be pretty easy to install:

If not, check the rest of these out. One of them is bound to fit. Try to fit as much light as possible.

Any questions, just ask. Good luck!

Sorry I made a mistake, its a AQUA-TECH 5, Made by Marineland. Uses the same light, and filter as the HEX 5. I wonder why they don't list it on there website, It was purchased at a wal-mart that could be why.

Well...you might be able to fit one of those retros from my previous post. That hood has the filtration built into it, right? That makes it alot harder to add any lighting to it.
