Hi

After a false start with a Dennerle 10l nano, I'm starting again looking for a rectangular tank preferably with built in light, filter and heater.

The only candidate I can see is a Juwel Vio 40l but will need to add a heater OR as I've kept the light, filter from the Dennerle, a good bare tank ?

I'm not looking for a hi tech tank but something attractive and room to aquascape.

Thanks

Nick
 
Seconded on the p@h nano, I've got one and they're really nice. Only downside I can see is if you want to use the glass lid that comes with it a clippy light might not fit. I don't have one on mine so I'm not sure about that though, just doesn't look like there's enough room. Irrelevant if you want to leave it open top though.
It does come with a little internal filter too.
 
I have fluval flora and I think it's a great little nano tank. The only thing I had to change was the stratum substrate which is not heavy enough to anchor any plants, and the diffuser which I replaced with a glass ceramic diffuser. I also removed the internal filter and added an external filter with glass lily pipes. I like the shape of this tank and I like the rocky background too.
 
I'd deffo get the P@H cube, the 30L one. It's high clarify glass at an amazing price.

Use the corner filter from your Dennerle if you don't want to spend big. I love those little corner internals filters. Quiet yet powerful.

If you want to go external then a eheim 2213 works well. The money you would save buying the P@H cube would works towards getting better filters, lights, substrate etc.

The P@H cube now just comes with the filter i think but is excellent build quality and minimal styling. I'm about to replace my 10L dennerle and my 25L arc tank with them.

oh btw, can someone post a link for the Cubes? I cant find them?

Regards


The relaunch was a cheaper version without the light. The issue with the light is due to the clips not meeting EU standards for electrical equiptment over water i think.
 
You couldn't go far wrong with one of these. Excellent value for money.

the P@H cubes are great, really clear glass. Only come with a filter now but for less than £30 for a tank getting a heater and a light is no trouble.
 
I have a fluval flora, it cost £50 for the tank, crappy background, a 2kg bag of stratum (which isnt really enough and i want another 2kg), a crap C02 kit,a filter,cover glass and clips, an 11w light and some tweezers. The tank is not in use atm but I have already removed the background and im using the filter, cover glass, light and tweezers in other tanks so overall its ok value for money but you still need to buy loads for it like a heater and more substrate ect.
