Fluval Roma 240 Or Fluval Vicenza 260

[MORGANpl]

Hello. Ive a Fluval 90 fish tank. Im thinking to change it to a bigger one but I need some advice. Which one would you choose and why?? The Fluval Roma 240 or Fluval Vicenza 260?? Ive change the topic as I know now that I will go for the Fluval make but dont know which one??
I almost go for the ROMA 240 but... but as I found few more £££ I start thinking about the Vicenza 260. What about that one?? I know it has allready holes in the tank for the filter but are they as well holes on the back of the tank so I can connect another filter??

I have the Juwel 240 but i find the design and over all structure of the tank a little dated now. I also have a Fluval Roma 90, tank only, no stand and i really like it. Its thinner glass than the 240 but it just seems a better build, plus there isnt any of the plastic wood effect surround, just black plus the stickers if you want to put them on.
So the Romas get a thumbs up from me, i would swap my juwel for one tomorrow.

I believe the juwel has an internal filter and the fluval will come with a 305 external which will give you more pace in the tank

I have the roma and love it compared with juwel ones I've seen.

I also have the roma, i looked at the juwel but chose the roma because of the external filter for more space in the tank. It is a great tank.

Juwel has the better style and lighting, the Fluval has better filtration, both are pretty good, just go for the one you prefer, though Fluval tanks are prone to condensation drips, this may have been rectified however.

My juwel has no style, not in my book anyway, Roma tanks and cabinets look far better

Seems good, but personally I'd go for a Roma - I love mine. Was about to give you a link (I got mine really cheap) but they've removed the deal where you get the cabinet free with the aquarium so the price isn't great now.

Juwel are currently doing free cabinets if that is of any use to you?

I found the Fluval Roma 240 for 365 here and I think the price is good for what you get.

The seapets deal is excellent. I have recommended that deal to someone else here before. Great value.

+1 for Fluval having more style than the Juwel, but they're very much alike.

I am thinking of getting the Fluval Roma 240, the Seapets deal seems to good to be true, the site is reputable right?

I believe so mate. I have never used them, but plenty on here have.

Cheers mate, reassuring, although the quote in your sig makes me kinda concerned
