vwboy77 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I'm thinking of buying a new tank to replace the ar 980 i have. I'm thinking of getting a juwel rio 240. i currently have a cf 1200 in my ar 980 would this be big enough to run by its self or should i use the internal that comes with the 240. Also after any advise on quality of these tanks because i dont want to have to replace anything too soon or worry about leaks any help would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Juwels are fantastic, come with great lights and are well suited to the purpose they were built for. The filter in the rio 240 is fine, but it will always be better to run the cannister in conjunction - especially since you have one already. You may remove the internal filter from the tank, but do so only after the warranty on the tank has lapsed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Juwels are great etc etc etc. Only problem I find, is with the internal filter. Every time you go to clean it, you need to pull out the media which creates a vacuum effect and causes the muck to go everywhere. WTB cannister filter!

I'm surprised you haven't got one already, it was months ago you said you wanted one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
