hi all. for mothers day i am looking to get my mum a juwel rekord 70.

just have a few questions if possible......

1. does anyone know the measurements of tank in inches? i need to fit it in a specific space that measures -
width - 12 inches
length - 29 inches
height - 20 inches.

ive looked on the web but cant seem to find measurements anywhere.

i am hoping to put the tank in a fireplace area, the base it will stand on is uneven as it is brick. will i need to put someothing down ie wood to make it more even for tank to stan d on?

my mum likes guppys so im looking to put just them in there. maybe keep them to same sex so they do not breed!

will this be ok and how many same sex guppys will i be able to fit?
 
Found it here at the aquariumshop.com

Presume it's the right tank. Measurements quoted are:

Aquarium Size: 61L x 46H x 31W cm
Cabinet Dimensions: 61L x 73H x 31W cm

There are 2.54cm to an inch so I would estimate that your tank and cabinet in old money are:

Aquarium Size: 24L x 18H x 12W inches
Cabinet Dimensions: 24L x 29H x 12W inches

Please check all these calculations out for yourself before buying rather than relying on me. Don't want to be responsible for an epic muck up. :no:

Hope it's helpful thou
 
Hi, my Rekord96 and Juwel Rio300 both stand straight on to carpet. You do need to make sure they are level before you fill up. My Rio300 is not level! I have read several comments on here that suggest that a tilt of more than 1/2 " is undesirable. My big tank is out by about 3/4". My husband is an engineer and in his opinion it is ok. Hope he's right! :) Hope your Mum likes her tank.
 
spoke to my dada about getting her a tank and he has said no!

she knows that we are gonna get her one. might still get it anyway!

il have moved out by then so wont be where there is arguements!
