Eclipse3 Retrofit by RICHARD HAINES

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 5/27/2008 from ARLINGTON, VA UNITED STATES

Comments: I found this was very easy to install. I found that the 65 watt light puts out quite a bit of heat - and the plastic lens of the Eclipse gets very hot to the touch. I added two small fans to the hood that I picked up at Radio Shack and had to drill several holes for venelation on the top of the hood - this made the installation a bit more complicated. The fans are on a seperate power supply and run off the same timer as the light. This light really makes a big difference. It basically doubled the amount of light in the tank Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I purchased the retrofit for an Eclipse 1. However, I soon found out that the 24" retrofit was designed for the Eclipse 3. I'm sure it would work wonderfully on that model. As for me, I had to cut holes in the side of the hood. Actually, I'm still very happy. At 65W, 10,000k, and 2 bulbs, you can't find much more power than that in such a small package with a power compact. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Pay what you get for... by DUANE CODY

Comments: Once you get it installed it actually great! Runs a little hot but still great! I have a 29gal rectangular marineland glass tank with the black plastic top that comes with it. The holes in the reflector didn't line up so I need to drill two holes. The supplied nuts were too big for the supplied bolts. So a trip to the hardware store, a few cents later plus the holes and it was finally installed. Not too much extra work, I've heard worse! Other than that it's still fairly easy to install. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Enough light for coral, but I had to cut an access in the side of the cover for the end to stick out. Great product though. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
