Jewel Rio 125 Fish Tank Accessory

Bought Jewel Rio 125 three and a half years ago. In that time two pumps and another last year with a light unit at Christmas. Now a leak which cannot stop. Jewel do not want to know. The thing that gets me you have to buy another tank with the lights and pump again not just the tank. It looked a good tank at first. Would not buy again

My 5 year old jewel rio 125 litre fish tank sprung a leak at 02.30 in the morning. Disaster, unable to stop the leak or repair it ( failed) had no choice but to take all fish back to the fish store ( £100 of stock) and carpet runined. I expected more durability from a tank.

The Jewel Rio 125 is excellent value, very easy to maintain. The best fish tank i have ever bought recommend it to all first time buyers, had mine 3 years no problems whatsoever.

I've had my Jewel Rio 125 for four years and have been extremely please with it. No problems to report, still using the original light tubes too! It looks great, is easy to set up and maintain and has the advantage of having the heater and filter media/pump enclosed together in the filter housing. This makes hiding the tanks working parts with decoration far easier than some other tanks which often have a heater and filter separately.

Good tank easy if your looking for an easy job with the benefits of having fish.

Jewel fish tanks make a great first fish tank. I bought a Jewel Rio 125 Fish Tank, then I got a 180, and I have now added a 400. I will only have Jewel fish tanks!

The Jewel Rio 125 in my opinion is a perfect tank for someone starting out. As a complete package it skips the need to get the correct rated heater, the right filter, the right pump etc. I have owned my tank now for about 18 months and have had no problems what so ever, still using the original lamps too. The two year warranty which comes as standard has not been needed.

I have 2 fish tanks, this one and an older standard 4 ft tank. The Jewel really look good in minimalist but stylish way with the black trim and would fit in well in most living rooms. The hood assembly finishes the tank off nicely especially when compared with standard ClearSeal hoods available in most retailers. The hood asembly comes appart easily to aid cleaning/water changes, the cross member being the only obstruction remaining in the tank.

The lighing rig which comes with the tank is has water proof lamp fitting reducing the risk of electric shock to minimum and doing away with the need for a condensation tray. The lamps which come as standard have a good life and are strong enough to grow all but the most light-hungry of specialist plants.

As mentioned above the filter material needed for the pump assembly can be expensive ( up to £6 for 4 pads) My local fish shop sells packaging felt which makes for a very cheap and suitable alternative.

Highly recommended fish tank.
