My Juwel Rio So Far

[Mr Melt]

This is just a video of my fishtank to date. As mentioned in the title - its a Juwel Rio 180.

I'm using Live Plants and Bogwood, with a Sand Substrate. The filters an External Eheim Classic 2213, and I'm using an Interpet AV3 Airpump =D

Also have 6 Congo Tetras as the 1st addition to the tank; more will be added as the media matures!

So, what do you lads think?

Looks good. One thing i think i would change is the Plants on the left, i think i would move them behind the wood, Thats just me though as i love bogwood

But none the less its looking great.

Juwel Official Poster, turned around. I was gonna use an actual silicon attached Juwel 3D, but decided against (due to pricing + to increase swimming space for the fish).

Looks great mate, consider putting the bigger plants at the back of the tank though, before they grow bigger root systems, it will give you space to put smaller ones near the front and give you a better view of the tank as a whole. I've no doubt in my mind it will change dozen times over coming weeks anyway Im always fiddling!

 

[Mr Melt]

My plan was to put big plants along the front and small in the middle; that way the fish could hide from ME and other people when stressed (as its a busy room at times).

kinda defeats the point of having a display tank

Not at all! The plants in front make the tank complete (in my opinion); the decor is JUST as important as the fish themselves!

In addition, my fish are already coming out into the open; so they can be that afraid anymore =P
