Thanks for the advice! This site is great. I have learned a lot by viewing the boards. DIY threads especially has helped me with all my lighting and skimmer mods on my eclipse.

Yes they are pc lights. 10,000k & 460NM Actinic. I have two of those kits. 65 watts a piece.

OK! Here is what I have done. I have the Eclipse 3 hood on a 29 gallon with Protein Skimmer and now have added another 65 watt retrofit. So two Smartpaq retros which gives me 130 watts. I should be safe with any softies right? What about hard corals is that a no-no even with the to kits?

Well I would like to do that but I am trying to make use of the eclipse hood that I have for the time being and then upgrade. I can't put T-5's in that hood unless someone here has done that. The smartpaq is pc's. So the lights that came with it do no good at all even as an addition?

I think what you are seeing is the black plastic ring. That will not make it air tight. If you look inside it will have a long plastic cylinder, at the top of that cylinder there is a gap. Right where the water flows out and the foam heads into the collection cup that portion needs to be air...

I have just started my first reef tank (also new to the forum) and I purchased an eclipse 3 Marineland tank. I really like it. It is extremely quiet. However I did have to make modifications to the hood for the lighting and protein skimmer. I updgraded the lighting withe Sunpaq retrofit kit...

Underneath the collection cup air will "leak out" small amounts. This will keep the foam from rising to the top of the collection cup as it should. By sealing the base of the cup to the cylinder it sets in forces the air out through to the collection cup. I used a latex glove they are...

I purchase a seaclone a month ago and made two modifications and it works great. I ran it without the mods and not so good. 1. changed the airflow valve to a higher quality which allows you make more precise adjustments to airflow. 2. you will laugh but I did what I saw on another post, which...
