Customer Questions & Answers for
Marineland Eclipse® Filtration and Lighting Systems

Marineland ® offers three sizes of the Eclipse Lighting and Filtration Systems, which fit most manufacturers’ aquariums on the market today. The unique top of the tank hood effectively hides the light source and the filtration, and allows the aquarium to be placed closer to a wall than with a typical hang-on-the-back filter.  The high-performance Eclipse ® Rite-Size Filter Cartridge and Marineland BIO-Wheel ® provide total mechanical, chemical and biological filtration, ensuring 100% water-to-media contact for excellent water quality. The specially selected fluorescent daylight lamp promotes plant growth, and brings out the brilliant natural colors of ornamental fish.  The Eclipse systems are easy to setup, easy to operate, and easy to maintain. The top-mounted Eclipse filtration affords ample space for added accessories like heaters or air stones.

Question

I have an Eclipse hood and need a new bio-wheel

Darn dog ate the BIO-wheel and I need a new one but not sure what size. I don't see any model # anywhere on the hood. The hood is 12"x23.5" and the space the wheel slides into is about 5"x2.5". It takes an H replacement filter. Thanks!

If it takes an H replacement filter then you have the Eclipse 3. You can buy replacement bio wheels on their web site, along with many other web sites. Just google it. The bio wheels are standard sizes with most of their filter systems, you could even measure across where it sits in the hood and go to your local pet store and measure one to match up size and purchase it. Not too complicated.

Do you have a Marineland Eclipse 12 hood/light replacement?

The light electrical unit on the hood split because of the heat from the lamp, then shorted out. I have had this unit for a few years and do not want to buy a new one. So, I need the hood with the light and electrical unit attached. Please let me know if you carry this part. Thanks. Christina

What kind of light is in your hood? If it's just a bulb, try rotating it a bit to see if it needs to be seated in a little better. If that doesn't work, call our customer care line at 800-322-1266 to get a replacement.

Sorry to hear that, how long have you had the tank? If it's under warranty, we'll replace it. Please call customer service to arrange for a replacement, 800.322.1266. If it's older that 2 years, you can replace the pump but buying parts online.

Hello Jim, need some more information before I can help. Sounds like it might be an impeller issue with the rattling. We don't sell a bow front Eclipse so just want to make sure that it is our tank. The Eclipse tanks pretty much have everything "under the hood" so is just a matter of lifting up the front of the hood. Can you send some more information and I can try to help more specifically? Thanks.

We do not make a T5 light that will work with the 37 Gallon tank, however, we do have a couple of other options. The "Double Bright" LED (item #32991 ) or the Reef Capable LED (item #33001) will fit it. We also have a high output light with a combination of T5, LED and HID bulbs that can be used with this tank, though it will need to be suspended above the aquarium, vs. being placed directly on the frame, due to the center brace in the tank. Also, this hight output light is 36" long, and will extend beyond the end of the tank, but will give you the most light output. The item number for the high output light is 32981.

Thank you,
Samantha

Question

For Dana: follow up info on rattling motor

Dana, the unit has this written on it: "Pump for PFES 12" The hood is definitely Eclipse because it says so on the front. It is bowed in shape, in the front, as is the tank. We bought it about 4 yrs ago. The tank might be 12 gals rather than 26. Thanks.

I assume that you have the Eclipse Seamless Aquarium 3 gallon -- The specific part that you have requested is as follows:

PFES03: PA0130 (Rite-Size Z)/PA0410

Unfortunately Marineland does not sell the replacement parts. You may search your local pet supply dealers to see if they carry the specific item.

My Eclipse 2 hood is leaking! Help?

I have an Eclipse 2 on my 20 high tank, and have had it for approximately 6 years or so. It has recently begun to leak around the edges. Where it sits on top of the tank, it is not snug, there is a tiny bit of movement, but it has always been the case. I don't know how to correct this - it's drips down the back and sides, occasionally down the front. Help?

Since this is an enclosed canopy system, water will acumulate under the access panel. It's typically not a major issue but sometimes when you open the panel water droplets may drip down and fall off the panel outside the tank. This can become more of an issue if the tank is warm producing even more condensation. If the light is on more than usual as well as having a slightly warmer temperature, try to reduce the lighting and regulate the temperature within a normal range -- typically between 76-80 degrees. You may just have to wipe down the water accumlation under the panel if there is any when it's opened and for the most part it tends to come back less and less overtime.

Thank you for contacting Marineland.
