I am thinking about getting an Eclipse System 12 Aquarium for my desk at work. Anyone have any experience them good or bad? Any stocking ideas?
Thanks

works well for a basic freshwater setup but you wouldn't do a reef with it or anything
If the hood malfunctions, your lighting and filtration malfunctions 
. But I say go for it! A school of 6 neons or cardinal tetras and a pair of german blue rams would make a nice setup. You could also do a dwarf shell dweller setup.

Looks great since the filter and light are in the hood.
They scratch VERY easily since they are acrylic, but other than that, it's a very nice aquarium. I like the all in one hood because it saves space, no hoses or filters hanging off the back. The bottom on mine did crack, but i think it was my fault. I put a heavy rock in the tank and it was kind of sharp and it put too much pressure on the bottom.
I'd recommend it
Take a look at the nano cubes too. IMO they have a much better filtration system and nicer lighting, although there were issues with them cracking. I think they fixed the problem with the newer models. If i were to choose between the eclipse and the nano cube, id go with the nano cube.
