Rio range · Classic rectangular aquarium
The Rio 290 is the clever one in the family. Rather than growing longer, it grows deeper and taller — 51 cm of depth and 66 cm of height turn a one-metre footprint into a 290-litre column of water. The result is unusual creative freedom: tall driftwood, dramatic rockwork and large showpiece fish all fit where only a 180 used to. It stands on the taller 80 cm cabinet for a commanding eye-level view.

Everything included
A JUWEL LED aquarium is not a glass box you still need to equip — the technology is engineered in from the start, sized for the tank and hidden from view.
Twin replaceable DAY and NATURE LED tubes deliver a full, plant-friendly spectrum while using up to half the energy of old T5 tubes.
The quiet heart of the system. Water is filtered inside the aquarium — no hoses, no leaks — through multi-stage genuine JUWEL media.
A near-silent, energy-efficient pump keeps water turning over at exactly the rate the Bioflow filter is designed for.
A TÜV-certified heater sits inside the filter housing, holding tropical temperatures steady and safely out of sight.
