Hi Guys,

Cheers Mells

From what I've read (and not only for planted tanks) Mer Aquatica is the way to go for large tanks.
See this recent thread and this thread

I think it's so much easier to upgrade lights etc. that way.

I know for a fact I'll never again get a Tropiquarium (even though it was a 2nd hand bargain). Those things are impossible with their stupid hood design.

I am quite supprised how cheap there tanks are for the sizes, tempting.........
What do you reckon to Juwel Aquiriums?
Cheers for that one BlooZoo.

I have a Vision 180 and do think it's lovely. It's only about 48 Gallons though so not huge. But they make much larger ones too - you can quite often find a bargain on eBay if you look long enough.

That said, I do not think Juwel filters are great and would either recommend replacing with external or running in conjunction with external. Lighting is a bit rubbish too (but adequate) and ideally would need upgrading too. They only come with approx 1wpg. At the least you should add reflectors to the tubes.

i have a juwel..... its only a small one mind u (96ltrs) but spot on. only thing i would say is the lights are very bog satndard and may need upgrading!

Do you know where I can look at 10 gallon tanks? I never knew what could make my small tank look nice?

My tank is an out of the box kit Juwel Rekord 70
I bought the cabinet to match with a cupboard underneath. If money was no object then I would buy a Juwel Trigon 190 or a Juwel Trigon 350.
So this will have to do for now.

P.S. The extra equipment was dearer than the initial cost of the tank and stand.

That is a beautiful tank. I love them tanks. I have plans on getting me one of them soon.
