I need an Eclipse 6 system!!
Does anyone have an Eclipse 6 system laying around they would like to sell. My mother would like to buy one so I can set it up for all her grandkids as a reef. I am over there pretty frequent to care for it... hopefully I will get yet another person addicted to reefing... 
If anyone has anything else that is in the 6 to 12 gallon range I may be ineterested in that as well...just let me know what you have....

I have a 10 or 12 gallon flat-back hex tank I used as a non-reef for a few years before a big junp to the 90 gallon. I think it is simmilar to this:

However, I know the one I have has PC lights. It also has a tiny wet- dry trickle filter built into the back with room for a pump, heater, and small skimmer.
It needs to be cleaned up and has a crack in the canopy, but it is just sitting in my garage now. Let me know if your interested. |

I have a minibow 5, that is completely ready to go for a little reef. I have it retro fitted with 2x13 watt pcs. 1 actinic and 1 10K. I have a minijet 404 for it as well as a modified ac 150 into a little fuge. The mini fuge has a 7 watt 6500K PC clip on light for it. I grew macro in it and had a few chunks of lr in it as well. Just needs rocks and corals... Let me know (I can post pics of it when it was full of corals when I get home tonight)

Jeremiah, I may be interested in the minibow 5 if trodder isn't interested in it. Was looking for a small tank to set up in my office, and that sounds just about perfect.

It's a sweet tank for the office. Thats what I used it for, till I lost my other job. Not I can't even keep an open can of pop on my new desk, lol...
I will post pictures on this thread of it from when it was full and also a couple shots under the hood so you can see the retro lighting. One thing to consider in an office is the topoff. (needs to be done daily on such a small tank)
PS, Plus I will trade for any zoo or soft coral frags... |

Pictures
These aren't the greatest pics but you get the idea. The lights are on dual ballasts so you can have the dusk/dawn effect. The ballasts are wired remotely to keep the heat down. I also cut my own acrylic top so the water doesn't slash on the lights.

I don't want to sidetrack this thread, but...
I am looking for a 5 1/2 gallon aquarium to set up on my desk at work as a freshwater. I just noticed that the one I have has some pretty serious scratches that I missed before. I bought the new Coralife Mini Aqualight for freshwater but they have also have a model for saltwater too. Its pretty cheap, $24.99 at www.thatfishplace.com. The saltwater version comes with dual lamps: one 9 watt actinic blue and one 9 watt 10,000k daylight. Replacement bulbs are pretty reasonable too - on the order of $6 apiece. |

I was just noticing when I cleaned the tank out that there is a small area of super glue I got on the detatchable base that came with it. It's on the front and is about the size of a dime. In fact you can actually see it in the first picture I attached. Second thing is that when I painted the inside of the hood so the light would blast through the translucent plastic. I did get some krylon paint on the side of the hood and a few spots on the back. Other then that I cleaned it out tonight and there was not any significant scratches that I could see on the front of the sides of the tank.
I am not really interested in getting any money for this thing. I recently got my 75gallon set up and don't have much for lighting. (only 220 watts vho) So I am just looking to trade for some softies or any other lower light corals. (shrooms, zoos, leathers, rics)
5 gallon minibow - $35
AC 150 minifuge - $20
MiniJet 404 - $20
2x13 watt pc's - $30 (bulbs only have about a month on them and are only $5 a peice from hellolights to replace.)
7 watt pc clip on for mini fuge - $15
Having my girlfriend quit whining about it sitting in the garage on top of my busted 30 gallon tank - priceless. |

Well, I'll have to scratch up enough zoos, mushrooms, and softies for you. Can't say I keep much of those. Want to bring it up and do some trading? I don't need it right away and it could wait 'til the Nov. meeting, unless the whining is real bad. haha
