Default Eclipse brand tanks

Hey all.

I'm getting back into the SW hobby after about 3 years of living
without any fish whatsoever (Did he say living without fish?!
Infathomable!).

I'm thinking of investing in a small 12 gallon Eclipse system because
im pretty limited in funds (damn college), but what worries me is the
filtration system and the lighting. These Eclipse tanks apparently
come with some sort of built in filtration that my fish guy says
should work just fine in supporting fish, anenomes, mushrooms, and
maybe polyps. Like I said, I'm doing this with some spare money I've
got, so I'd rather do frequent water changes than buy any expensive
equipment.

And as far as lighting goes, the fish guy told me he could put a
thirty-something watt PC in the hood, and that it would be enough to
support mushrooms and star polyps, and an anenome maybe, which is the
only life I'm interested in for now. Does this sound like a feasible
tank setup: 2.5 WPG, and an Eclipse filtration system? Will that
support mushrooms and an anenome?

Thanks for the advice in advance.
