seaclear tank
Date: October 9, 2007
"this tank is very spaceous from what i have observed 24in wide is very good, but you cant forget the20in height or the 12in diameter. on sale this would make one great deal ecspecially for new fish owners that intend on getting lots of fish. this tank is good for freshwater fish because it is very spacoues and if you put things in it, it will have more things to hide in. but if you have to many algee eaters they will fight each other the get the algee...yikes! anyway i definately recommend this tank because it is spaceous and comfortable for your fish."

HELP
Date: December 18, 2006
"Would like to combine the 20 gallon regular height Seaclear tank with the Eclipse 2 filter/light system.
Will the Eclipse 2 filter/light system fit the 20 gallon regular height tank if you cut the hose?
If not, please explain.
Thank you and happy holidays!"

I have beautiul Eclipse/Sea Clear aquariums
Date: November 15, 2006
"I have two combinations of the SeaClear Tanks and Eclipse covers, a 30 Gal with Eclipse III, a 25 Gal tall with an Eclipse II, and right now I'm buying another Eclipse II for a 20 Gal SeaClear tank I just bought.
One thing I have to say right off the bat, if the intake tube is too long, all you need to do is get a large serrated kitchen knife (or whatever works) and cut it to size. Very easy. You don't need to call Marineland to get another one?!!
I can't say enough about these tank combos. They are totally gorgeous. I always get some algae right after the tanks cycle (b/c I overfeed my fish), but it usually goes away in a few weeks. I have one in a bright room, but not close to the windows, no probs. I have one right next to the window, it gets direct light, no probs.
Another thing is, these lights are totally adequate for a wide variety of plants. From everything I read, aquariums need lots of light for plant growth, and the wattage included in the Eclipses would not be enough. Not true. In fact, I changed the bulb on my Eclipse III to a 64 watt retro fit kit, and my algae problems didn't go away until I put the original light back on. I filtered the algae away using an HOT Magnum with a Micron cartridge and diatom powder. Anyway, my plants are gorgeous. People can't believe the way my aqauriums look. I DO use Eco-Complete Freshwater Plant Substrate under my gravel, and I know that helps a lot, b/c I assume that the plants outcomplete the algae. I don't do anything fancy, no CO2 system or anything. No fertilizer.
I had one glass tank (which I got rid of) and it really didn't have the same clarity as the acrylic. Also, I have the Marineland 12 and 6 gallon systems, and the acrylic seems more prone to scratching than the SeaClear tanks. They also have the same great lighting and filtration system.
The Eclipse systems are wonderful. I can take out the filter and clean it without dismantling the whole system. I clean the removable filter about twice a week under warm running water, and change it once every two weeks. I rinse the biowheel in aquarium water that's being changed once in a while. I clean the whole filter system in my heavily stocked tanks about once every 3-4 months, and in my lightly stocked aquariums, they never seem to get too dirty. Also, because the intake tube doesn't have large holes, my guppy babies don't get sucked into the filter, as they did in another filter.
I tried setting up a glass 10 gallon tank with another type of filter system, w/o the Eco-Complete, and I had intractable pea green water in a couple of months, even though I had a fair number of plants in this aquarium too."

Save your self from trouble
Date: August 1, 2006
"In short, this tank is a design flaw.
A bar installed at the top to keep the flimsy plastic sides from bending under the pressure of the water, reduces the opening to 11x10 and one cannot fit large decorations into the the tank.
The top bar is attached with screws and is likely to crack at some point especially if the screws were over tightened. I have already had to send one tank back as it arrived with cracks on both sides. (Petco was great about replacing it)
Also beware that the colors have nothing to do with a frame but instead describe the color of a solid rear wall. All pictures are shown with the cobalt blue background.
THIS TANK IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ECLIPSE SYSTEM 2, because the tank has rounded corners at the front (1" radius) you have a constant leak situation, and the ECLIPSE SYSTEM 2 is too large for this tank (its about 13x24.5) this creates a constant mess from condensation and little overflows flowing down from all sides."

Eclipse 2 not compatible with all tanks
Date: February 27, 2006
"The aquarium is beautiful. I am happy with it. What I am not happy about is the 20 gallon "regular" aquarium itself is listed to be compatible with the Eclipse 2 system, which it is not. THe intake tube is much longer and sticks out of the hood. The Eclipse 2 system, as listed on the box is compatible with a 15 gallon, 25 gallon or 20 gallon "high" tank, not the 20 gallon "regular". The customer service for Marineland is helpful when you can reach them but usually you have to wait 20 minutes on hold. In addition, the website is supposed to take replacement part orders but it does not handle orders for individual pieces. "

16" Deep NOT Eclipse 2 "Compatible"
Date: January 19, 2006
"Please note that while this is a nice aquarium, it is NOT compatible with the Eclipse 2 filtration system. That requires a "high" tank, probably the 20" deep model."

Seaclear Eclipse 2 Acrylic acquarium
Date: January 19, 2006
"The algae problems with this tank are terrible. I had a 12 gal glass tank in the same location where I have put the new Acrylic 20 gal tank, and controlling the algae bloom in the tank is becoming a full time job. It is a real nightmare. Constantly using chemicals to remove the algae and repeated cleaning of the filter(several times a day!!)
I am not referring to Algae attaching to the sides of the tank, I am talking about free floating algae turning the water to a murky greenish/yellow.

This tank gets no direct sun, but it does get bright light from windows 15' away from it.
Don't buy this tank if it is to be placed in a brightly lighted or sunny room. Evidently light affects acrylic tanks more than glass ones. "

Sea Clear Aquarium with Eclipse 2
Date: January 6, 2006
"I have owned many aqauarium setups. The Eclipse 2 does an excellent job as promised by the manufacturer and has exceded the others."
