Juwel Rio 240 premium glass aquarium - Black

Description

Rio 240 LED Aquarium (Black)

The Rio 240 is a premium glass aquarium from JUWEL, known for combining stylish design with built‑in technology and ease of use. It’s especially popular among hobbyists who want a mid‑to‑large sized tank that’s ready to set up with minimal fuss.

Key Specs

  • Volume: ~240 litres (approx. 63 US gallons)

  • Dimensions: ~121 cm (L) × 41 cm (W) × 55 cm (H)

  • Weight (empty): ~48 kg

  • Colour: Black (also available in white, wood finishes, etc.)

Lighting — MultiLux LED

This tank uses JUWEL’s MultiLux LED lighting system, with two long LED tubes (DAY and NATURE spectrum) built in. These LEDs are:

  • Energy efficient — up to ~50 % less power than older T5 fluorescent lights.

  • Great for plant growth and viewing fish, giving a natural, bright look.

  • Waterproof and sealed to high European safety standards.

Filter & Water Flow

The Rio 240 includes an integrated Bioflow M internal filter system plus an Eccoflow 600 pump:

  • Effective mechanical and biological filtration — “water stays in the aquarium” design.

  • Comes with multiple filter media (sponges, carbon, nitrate control, etc.) for clean, clear water.

  • Pump rated at ~600 L/h — good for most community freshwater setups.

Heater

A 200 W adjustable heater is integrated into the filter circulation system, helping maintain stable tropical temperatures.

What’s Included vs Sold Separately

  • Tank + Filter + LED + Heater + Pump: Included.

  • Cabinet/Stand: Usually sold separately — many retailers list the aquarium on its own, and you’ll need a properly rated stand or cabinet to support the weight once filled.

Good For

  • Freshwater community tanks with schooling fish, live plants, shrimp, etc.

  • Beginners to intermediate aquarists who want an “all‑in‑one” style setup without piecing together separate lights and filters.

  • Could also be used for light saltwater setups with additional equipment and careful maintenance.
