JUWEL RIO 240 (LOW ENERGY, NO CO2) HOW I CARE FOR AND MAINTAIN THIS BEAUTIFUL AQUARIUM 2020 

I guess Im kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to stream new series online?

@Tadeo Keith I watch on flixzone. You can find it on google =)

Do not know if I missed it but what is the light you are using on this aquarium? btw that tank is quite spectacular

Thanks Colin, glad you got something from it, much appreciated👍

Great stuff, glad you're enjoying my videos. Best of luck with your new Juwel setup👍

Wow, that's a great compliment, thankyou so much. Can't wait to get the gallery/office done.

@@GEORDIESCAPER I bet! I do water changes on my 3 tanks 1x/ week between 40-60%

Hi Vincenzo, chlorine free tap water, that's great👍👍thankyou so much for taking the time to comment and glad you enjoyed the video, very much appreciated😊

Thankyou so much, really appreciate the kind words😊

Thankyou so much, really do appreciate it👍

Thankyou so much, glad you enjoyed👍

Thanks Michael, really appreciate that, nothing better than inspiring someone😊Good luck with your new setup👍

Thanks Paul, much appreciated👍

Thankyou so much😊👍

Hi Dean, Thankyou so much and glad you got something from the video. Exciting stuff ahead with the gallery👍

Cheers mate appreciate it, love the Balansae👍

Thanks mate, very much appreciated👍

cheers👍👍

No probs👍you'll be blown away by Horizon and great range of tanks👍

Haha no chance Laurence, cheers mate👍👍

20to 30 % change once a week is my plan.

Great stuff, wherever you go there's no escaping a geordie🤣

Thankyou so much for taking the time to comment.

Thanks David, much appreciated. Love the Prodibio ferts👍

Hi Dawn, nothing better than inspiring someone, thankyou so much, flattered😊Good luck with your setup👍🌱🌿💚

@@GEORDIESCAPER Its now filled, filtering and heating up! Cant wait to get some plants in there soon

Thanks Paul👍😊

Thankyou so much Oscar👍

Hi Henry,, water changes I do around 60% once a week now. Thankyou so much for the kind words and really happy you are enjoying my videos😊👍

Thankyou so much, more work but i think the water changes really help. I thought using different grades of sponge may help with flow but to be honest if you're cleaning them weekly anyways probably little effect on flow. I would just stick with the blue.

Great stuff, i say this alot but i really mean it, no better compliment than knowing I've inspired someone. Thankyou so much👍

Thankyou, glad you enjoyed it👍

cheers mate😊👍

Great stuff, yeah buckets, nightmare.

Hi there and thankyou. The lights are cheap lights from Amazon and have no intensity control but they are only 70w in total. lean fert dosing and 2 water changes a week as well as a good algae eating crew (amano shrimp, nirate snails, otos and Siamese Algae eater) have all helped me keep algae under control. Hope this helps👍

Thankyou so much glad you're enjoying the videos😊👍 Plants: Trident fern Anubias petite and pangalino Bucephalandra (red, wavy green, kedagang) Crypts (wendtii tropica, undulata, balansae crispatula, there's one other but I honestly can't remember which crypt it is).

Hi Julia, glad you enjoyed the video, thank you. I did change the light eventually to an app controlled one so I could change intensity according to plant mass. If I don't have a controllable light I go for around 6 hours if I'm not injecting CO2 to help keep algae at bay.

Great answer, thank you! Will test going to 6hrs to begin with :) @@GEORDIESCAPER

Hi Jas, Thanks for subscribing, very much appreciated. Horizon Aquatics www.horizonaquatics.co.uk/ is an amazing place with a great selection of tanks, healthy fish, plants and all you need. As far as tips go If you watch this video I give some tips, different tank back then but same principles. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nckXUOUgNL0.html Best of luck with the move to the good old North East of England👍

Hi there and thankyou. They're ok but I now use Seachem ferts as per bottle instructions. I follow the seachem weekly dosing routine and prefer to dose everything seperate these days so I have more control of what fert, amounts etc I use.

Thankyou so much the tall plant is crpypt balansae, great plant for the background.

Thankyou so much. It's does yeah but i took it out to use external filters.

GEORDIE SCAPER was it easy to remove ? Because I love the Rio look but don’t like the internal filter

It's stuck in with silicone so you have to cut it out.

Thank you so much Nicki. Sadly this tank was stripped a while ago now, got quite a few setups going on though. There's a really good choice of epiphytes (plants that attach to wood and stone) so you can have those without the soil and they feed via the water column. Here's a link to a short, these are plants that attach to wood and stone. ru-vid.comp3hKgCn_Cvk?feature=share

@@GEORDIESCAPER thank you so much 😊

Hi there, I'm sorry but I wasn't doing youtube when I purchased the Juwel aquarium.

The standard ones are OK but I prefer to add full RGB, more wattage to benefit the plants best.

Thank you. Trident fern, great plant 👍

@@GEORDIESCAPER thank you my friend

Thankyou. All the hardscape materials are from horizonaquatics.co.uk/ Amazing place👍

@@GEORDIESCAPER Thanks a bunch. I wish you the best of luck, and for this channel to get big. Keep it up 😃

@@r.4kram Appreciate that thankyou so much👍

Hi there, the lights we're from Amazon and I can't seem to find the right size anymore to add link. The actual lighting units i have measure 116cm with extendable brackets either side. The vinyl wrapped cabinet sounds cool👍

@@GEORDIESCAPER thank you for getting back to me. Ok I'll try find something similar. After taking the stand apart to wrap each section I realised that the water damage to the stand was severe. Like swelling of the bottom pieces as not all the sides are covered with the melomine coating. The back sides are chipboard. For the price of these aquariums there should be extra screws and wooden dowel supports. The wrapping was the best idea. It looks so good! It was the beech effect juwel Rio. Looked orange when I got it. Can't grumble tho, I got it for £30. It even had a bad snail issue... So it's been vinegar washed and razored all the glass... Looks amazing! No more snails! Still going to be a while yet before I set it up! Need to figure out how much substrate I'm gonna need for it and also need a new intake pipe for my external filter as it's not long enough... I'm hoping by the time I'm done it will look better than yours! 🤘🏻🤣🙌🏻 But then again it won't cz I'm opting for no real plants in mine. Golden barbs nibble it!

@@sassilou Bargain, sounds like you've done a great job on getting it back to it's former glory. Best of luck when you set it up👍

Hi there, Thankyou so much. It's the Oase Biomaster Thermo 350 canister filter.

@@GEORDIESCAPER thank you very much 😀

I water change every day for the first 2 weeks and gradually bring it down to once a week. I'm a strong believer in regular large water changes. If you're readings are all good a water change won't effect this.

@@GEORDIESCAPER thanks very much, you're videos are a great help 👍🏻

Appreciate it thankyou so much.

Hi Hilary, they're black lava stone.

And if that works for you...perfect, especially with all those tanks. I dose daily quite a bit with ferts so like to do a bigger water change to reset everything and siphon out as much detritus as possible.

Hi Frederik, A little white vinegar and microfibre cloth, streak free. Done it for years👍

Hello dad

Hi Craig...I wanted full spectrum rgb and couldn't find what I wanted in the Juwel led tubes.

@@GEORDIESCAPER Cheers, I ask because I'm considering the juwel 125.

@@craigsmart1986 nothing wrong with the lights they come with, they'll still grow easy category plants, just my personal preference👍

Hey there, thank you and flattered this scape inspired you. 🇬🇧🇳🇿 Rocks were Black lava stone. Plants what I remember were: Trident fern Anubias petite Cryptocoryne green & brown Cryptocoryne balansae/crispatula Bucephalandra kedagang Thanks again👍👍
