    Hey Peeps

    So I eventually gave in and bought the JUWEL RIO 450 / 400

    Now I need an idea for some FISHES?

    .... I'll post a pic of the setup shortly

    Awesome tank .... so well made + so quiet as I have it in the BEDROOM!

    I need to get the pic from my camera ... but bascially the whole second floor of our house is bedroom (no kids)
    and what was the old bedroomis a dressing room

    so the bedroom is huge... and we had an empty sapce on the one side (WHY not stick in 450 L aquarium :)

    i better keep quiet.
    I would find it hard to concentrate on bedroom matters especially with a 450L tank in my sight no matter how good the missus looks

    oh - I think most of us understand "in the bedroom" - !!!!!!!!!!!!! - any available space will do! NICE tank, bro! Ok, so the big :questionmark: is - are you going planted again? I'd imagine so?

    I would love to have one in the bedroom. At least your TV is not close to yours. Mine is right next to our TV in the living room. Just one comment "Thank goodness for PVR." more often than not, we find ourselves looking at the fish and then need to rewind.

    Question - Why didn't you go vir the vision 450?

    ja thank goodness for pvr... could also do with watching less Tv :)
    ..... LOVE watching the fish just before sleeping... keeps me calm :)

    VISION 450? NOT A HUGE FAN OF BOW FRONT to be honest - prefer the square shape....

    Noise. What noise? If he keeps the internal filter from Juwel, he will have no problem with noise. I literally need to press my ear against the tank to hear if it's working. These guys know their stuff. Agreed, external canister filters are probably better, but till now, I found the standard Juwel one to be quite sufficient.
