Well i wasn't happy with my eclipse 3g (mainly because i kept scratching the acrylic and the filter is crap) so i decided to upgrade to a 5.5g. I removed the rim and made a light fixture from an old 10g incandescent fixture and some wood. Here are a few of the current specs:
-lighting- 20w screw in flourescents
-filter- Tom Rapids mini canister
-substrate- Eco complete
-plants- crypt lucens, java fern, marselia minuta, and crypt spiralis--the spiralis is in there for cycling purposes only and more plants will be added tomorrow when i get to my LFS
-fish- none currently but otos will be added soon and hopefully a school of some kind of boraras in the future
anyways here are some pictures of the build and how the tank looks after i filled it up tonight:







I left some room near the rocks because I want to add some downoi around them. I'm also thinking about adding a few rocks to the right side with some blyxa behind them to balance the tank out. Let me know what you'll think because I'm very open to suggestions.
