The NEW Juwel Aquarium Setup!
Today we set up a brand new 120 gallon aquarium from start to finish! This beautiful Juwel Rio 450 LED Aquarium was a huge surprise from Jay Wilson, and we managed to get the entire tank setup and running in just two days.
This aquarium is a major upgrade for my angelfish and South American fish, not just in size but also in overall tank quality and design. The Juwel Rio 450 is a 120 gallon system with incredible build quality, clean design, and great filtration, making it a perfect display aquarium.

Even more exciting, Juwel Aquarium has been building aquariums for over 60 years, but their tanks have primarily been available in Europe and overseas. Now they are finally entering the North American market, and this might be one of the first Juwel aquariums showcased on YouTube in the United States.

Beautiful❤
I was gonna get one of these but I went for a custom tank that’s smaller but ended up spending so much money on the lights etc I am now into at least 1700 usd lol
Niceee👍🏻
Awesome ❤
Amazing tank ! What will happen with the old 90 galllon tank ?
Nice
Small piece of advice regarding Juwel's Rio series, you need to replace that built in filter ASAP. It is hell to clean, and when you do, half the gunk it's sucked up goes back in the tank. Also, the built in heater breaks very easily and only functions half the time. I learned both of these things the hard way. You'd think Germans would know how to engineer aquarium equipment, but apparently not.
Awesome. I've never upgraded a large tank and it's a little intimidating, but I'm about to switch out my 75g for a 100g. Nano tanks are so easy to tear down or throw together 😄.

It’s crazy expensive
