sorry to hear that paul.
I cannot realy look at it.
Its just in the computer room and i cannot look at it or even go into the thing to set the filter/heater up.
(i took the photos when my dad went down stairs (sshhhh dont tell him) )
Its a drag.
I hope every thing goes well with your new tank.

the best they were getting rid of it as they had no space for it.
I think it was £200 and the bogwoods were £8 for both.
They also wanted to get rid of it as it has a small scratch on the side.

I got a Rio180 exactly the same as that last year for Christmas too, only piad £75 for mine though.

By the way word of advice, the fitlers are pretty weak in them if you plan on stocking the tank pretty good or want lovely clear water invest in an external canister filter and run it with the Juwel filter!

Just a thought, will your parents not even let you set up the tank with water, a plant and the filter. Would just need to feed the plant to get the cycle going at it would be perfect by xmas....

This way you can get full enjoyment out of it at Christmas
