This is my second Eclipse 3 system. I had the other one 8 years. I got the new one installed and after a month I had trouble with the lights. They wouldn't light up. Not sure what caused the problem but I contacted Marineland and they had me FAX a receipt of purchase. They sent me a new light system. No hassle.

Overall a great lid kit. Good bright lights, strong filter pump, and quite operation. Sometimes late at night the filter sounds like it's raining outside, which is nice. After I've stirred up the debris by remodeling my freshwater community 30 gal tank, this filter will clear the water in a very short time...highly effective for removing fine and coarse debris. The intake is broad enough that none of my fish get stuck as they swim by...lol. The plastic lid is a little flimsy, but if you take care of it, you won't break it. I also have to add that a few days or so after I got the tank set up, the light quite working...bad ballast. I was upset at the thought of all the hassle it would probably take to deal with getting it repaired/replaced by the manufacturer, but I was happily surprised that Marineland customer service was very nice, trusted me, didn't ask any questions, and just sent me a whole new component to replace the broken kit, and told me I could just keep the broken one...I got the replacement two days after I called. I'm a Marineland customer forever.
