One of the most popular aquariums available today. The Rio 240 is a classic design but with some clever additions.
Here’s our 7-point review -Juwel Rio 240
Appearance –
The Rio 240 is a nice size and the lighting brings the tank to life. It could easily be a focal point in a room, but it will always be a great gallery for your fish.
Size –
At 240 liters, this tank can carry a small community of fish. If you want a tank that can handle some tetras, some medium-sized fish, and some plants, this might be the perfect tank for you.
PVC –
Some aquariums are made of PVC while others are made of glass. Some people prefer PVC while others prefer glass. The downside of PVC is that the tank will get scratched. You can polish off the scratches if they get too severe. The advantages are that PVC is stronger and less likely to distort vision.
Accessories –
The Juwel Rio 240 is a bit lacking when it comes to the included filter and heater. While these are perfectly good for a smaller aquarium like the Rio 180. The 200 watt heater and Bioflow 3.0 compact filter are simply not strong enough to use the aquarium to its full capacity. This means that if you want to get the most out of your aquarium you will have to replace them with other products.
Turning on –
What the Juwel Rio 240 loses in filter and heater power, it gains in lighting. Here’s a big boost in power from the Rio 180, as you get two 54-watt bulbs that really make your tank shine. Unless you have a demanding system, you probably won’t have to replace these bulbs.
Cabinet –
As with most quality fish tanks, you can purchase a matching cabinet for the Juwel Rio 240. As always, we recommend that you purchase the matching cabinet as the tank, when full, can be too heavy for many home furnishings. normal. Your dining room table may appear stable, but unless it can support the weight of two people standing on it, this tank will be too heavy.
Anonymous Genius –
The Juwel Rio 240 comes with a suspended base which may seem like an insignificant feature but could prevent your aquarium from straining and eventually dripping.
