The eclipse hood has a bio-wheel

Its a good all-in-one setup for community tanks but I don't reccommend them for planted tanks. Better off buying seperate and going with a light fixture and Aquaclear HOB filter or canister filter. Have a look at these...........

40 watts of light for $38.00

Great canister filter for $55.00
Or if you want a HOB and want to save a few dollars....

Filtration for $38.00

The eclipse 3 hood will run approx $100.00. You can get better for cheaper or the same price. I don't like bio-wheel filters on tanks with plants.

Just something to think about.
