    Starting a new tank! Eclipse System. What do u think?

    I will let others tell you about the set up of a SW tank (try to listen to people who give explanations and not just directions). I will however give you my .02 on the Eclipse. I was in your same shoes and went with a 37G Eclipse set up....it will very quickly become apparent that it limits...
