Getting a late start here, had a little super glue mishap LOL. This is my 9 year old sons venture into reef tanks. Upgraded him to an Eclipse system 12 when I saw them at Petco for $32 right before Christmas. He previously had a 10 gallon. I squeezed a 28 watt PC into the hood but didn't feel comfortable about the safety of it with a young one, so went with the dinky 13 watt PC to be safe. Stocking it with frags from my tank. Will get a list and pictures up tomorrow. He's super excited to have a "nice" tank now. He told my wife that he things it's nicer than Dad's 150 Gallon.
