What filtration system is included with JUWEL Rio aquariums?
Each Rio model is equipped with a JUWEL Bioflow internal filter, which is built into the corner of the tank. The system varies by size: smaller models like the Rio 125 and Rio 180 use the Bioflow M, while the Rio 240 and Rio 290 use the Bioflow L, and larger models like the Rio 350 and 450 are fitted with the Bioflow XL. These filters offer mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration with a silent pump and integrated heater.
Are JUWEL Rio aquariums suitable for marine or reef setups?
Yes, the JUWEL Rio range can be adapted for saltwater and reef aquariums with the right equipment. While the standard configuration is ideal for freshwater environments, marine conversions are common. These often involve removing the internal filter in favour of a sump or external filter, installing a protein skimmer, and upgrading the lighting system to suit coral growth.
Do JUWEL Rio aquariums come with a cabinet?
JUWEL Rio aquariums are available on their own or with a matching cabinet. The cabinets are custom-built for each Rio model, providing excellent support and ample storage for aquarium accessories. At Charterhouse Aquatics, you can purchase the aquarium and cabinet together as a value bundle or individually depending on your needs.
