sounds cool got any pics?Maybe be a little late but I modified my eclipse 3 hood to handle a protein skimmer and 130 watts of retrofitted PC lighting from sunpaq. Everything so far works great. The filter and bio wheel that came with it along with the protein skimmer that i have installed keeps my water very clear. You can cut a small section on the left side and install a skimmer. Very clean looking the way I have done it. You don't even notice that a portion was cut out... I love it but it did take some work.
