Right.. i admit it.. fell for the old habit everyone mentioned here beforehand. I bought a Biorb fish tank, less than a month ago. And i now want a bigger tank :). Hopefully i know someone, who is willing to buy my biorb from me. Anyhow, im now looking for a new tank.
Ive seen that the Juwel tanks, are mentioned quite favourably.
Now due to the fact that i am a newbie to this hobby, i like the fact that everything is included in the 'juwel package'. Ive been looking at the Rio240..(capacity is 240ltr). This tank matches up perfectly to the space i have available.
So before i delve in and purchase the tank, was hoping you guys could mention whether this is a good investment? Because the price isnt very cheap (£350 including cabinet). nevertheless, if its a good quality tank, dont mind forking out for it.
Thanks.

I'm hoping someone can respond--the Jewel brand is not available stateside, so I can't offer you any assistance. Sorry!

Nah, I have an answer... ;)
From what I have heard is that they are decent setups. Much better than Marine lands Eclipse by a mile.
But here is a review I found on the tanks here.
