Juwel Rio 240 Marine Setup

[kriss9000]

Hi All,

I have seen a Juwel Rio 240 setup for marine with the following specs:

Volume:


240 litres (39 Gals)

Light System:


New High Lite T5 lighting 54W White & 54W Actinic Blue Marine tubes

Protein Skimmer:


Red Sea Prizm

Filter System:


Tetratec EX1200 External Filter (existing juwel internal filter can either be left in place or removed with a sharp knife)

Tank Dimensions:


121 x 45 x 55 cm (WxDxH)

Cabinet Dimensions:


121 x 41 x 73 cm (WxDxH)

Its retailing from an online store for £616.

As a newbie can anyone advise if this spec is suitable for a marine reef system?

I intend to use lots of live rock and am open to ideas and suggestions.

Thanking you in advance.

Kind regards,

Kriss

Sounds rubbish, sounds rubbish.

Good price for the gear, however, with a skimmer that isn't worth the plastic it's made of, a free nitrate factory included (unless you modify the media set-up in the TT exturnal or clean it weekly) and not enough flow to do much with. Oh, and unless you want FOWLR or just a soft coral reef, the lights aren't up-to par either....

It would be better to buy the tank and gear seporately as a newbie

All the best

nah dont buy it, look out for a decent 2nd hand tank. Then build up your own equipment. You'll have everything for that £600 and much better
