Juwel Rio 400 Aquarium and Cabinet - anyone own one (450L)
been looking and pricing up tanks with cabinets got a few questions on this one:
what do people think of the Bioflow 8.0 filtation system ?
should i add a fluval 405 or simular to boost filteration ?
(will be a fairly heavily stocked tank.
do they all come with 4 T5's or do some come with 2 (is 4 bright lighting)
how to the plug sockets work are there spare sockets ?
is there plenty of room to fit wires /tubes etc for filter and air pump tubes etc.
seen for £845 so far with no extra's like gravel etc.
are there better options for £875 - max tank size required is 5 x 2 x 2
any other comments on the rio 400
many thanks

I'd look at buying from an independent. Recently had had a quote for a 5x2x2 for about £650. Inc tank, weir, sump, cabinet and lid.

wow that seems a good price with sump etc gee , where was that ?

i no nothing about sumps and how they compare to externals and no idea how to set one up.

assume water goes down the weir and travels through sump then some kind of pump jets water back to tank ?
heard they are noisier than an external is this true ?

look good and prices good but wouldnt go for it without knowing someone who had one.

I'm hopefully getting something along the lines of a 130cm x 60cm high x 70cm deep tank from them some time soon(ish).

Just need to figure a stand, as that's the main cost from them. I'd like nice oak doors on a solid frame.

You want a ladder!

Solid oak, maybe not completely. Just the doors, and MDF vaneer on the surround. Can get oak kitchen doors on ebay cheap.

Look on ebay I'd say going rate for a complete Rio 400 setup is about £500 on there. I picked up a Rio 400 + cabinet (no filters , etc) for £150.
