You could always buy second hand, I currently have one for sale, in brown, with a Tetratec ex700 external filter and cabinet for £120. Other than that I've never seen it cheaper than £200 new.

check the classifieds there are always juwel tank up for grabs. otherwise if you really want new then i would try Nd aquatics for a custom built tank as it normally works out cheaper than buying a juwel, rena etc etc as you are paying for the name on these tanks.

i have a juwel rio 180 for sale, tank only in beech if your interested?

Derbyshire, the light unit doesn't work however, I don't know whats up with it, it may just need new tubes but you're welcome to take it if you wish to buy the tank.

Yeah that'd be fine.

You'd get the tank, cabinet (both require light cleaning) and a Tetratec ex700 with brand new media, the pipework is all original, so as expected there's some algae in the pipes, easily cleaned with a pipe brush, but I don't have one so I can't do it, I did my best to rinse them out. There are a few light scratches on the front pane only noticeable when the tank is empty, when it's filled they're not visible. It's water tight, I filled it up only last week and left it a few days, and the filter is all water tight too, I can include the original filter if you require it (no pump or media), but it has been removed as it's a bit unsightly and the Tetratec provides more efficient filtration.

Juwel were doing an offer of a free stand recently. I got mine, a Rio 240, for £408 for a tank, stand, lights, heater and filter which i thought was a great deal

I got my rio 240 2nd hand off ebay for £150 with a fluval 305 external filter, heater, stand, lights and various crap that came with it, pretty spotless too. i thought that was a good deal
