There are plenty of, possibilities when it comes to purchasing a new tropical fish tank or aquarium (some terrific, some bad and some best forgotten!) When I came to find a new aquarium for my living area the choices were a little bit more limited as, because of a recent spate of decorating as well as some new furniture We had to take a look at corner fish tanks.

Fortunately, We have some good size corners around my living room! After a lot of indecision I finally decided on the Juwel Trigon 350 (the big brother of the Juwel Trigon 190.) The Trigon 350 is actually a complete affair in so much as included in the package is lighting, a filter, a pump and also a heater. Information of the precise specifications are listed further down in this posting.

The unit is manufactured with a suspended base which eliminates the the demand for polystyrene -stackers’ between your aquarium and the base unit.

The aquarium itself, as the name suggests, holds a notable 350 litres of water. You can use it as a tropical fish tank, marine fish tank or for cold water fish. There is no question that it is a good size piece of equipment however manages to look stylish without looking too bulky. The straight glass sides measure 87 cm each with the fantastic looking curved glass front section being approximately 123 cm. The height of the aquarium is 65 cm. The base unit/cupboard has matching length and breadth dimensions but stands at a height of 73 cm. Black silicone is employed throughout which adds to the stylish quality look of the whole ensemble. It’s worth pointing out at this point that although the base unit/cupboard is very practical (the open back allows for all of your cables and pipes to be nicely hidden from view and there is plenty of storage space for all of your fishkeeping bits and bats!) and looks tidy enough it isn’t going to raise the heartbeats of any antique dealers!

The standard package is made up of the following:-

Juwel Biflow 1000 pump, Juwel 300 watt heater, Juwel High Lite light unit (+ 2 x 24w tubes – 1 day and 1 nature), Juwel High Lite light unit (+ 2 x 45w tubes – 1 day and 1 nature), Juwel Bioflow 8.0 Jumbo Filter, Filter Media

I bought my Trigon via Aquarium House (http://aquariumhouse.co.uk) so in addition to the standard package I also received the following:-

Fish Net, Water Conditioner, Gravel – Natural x 60Kg Aquarium Backing (Japanese Driftwood)

To summarise, I looked at a lot of fish tanks for sale but I am very happy with my purchase (by the way the RRP is 1,296.92 but you should be looking to pay around the 950 mark). It looks fantastic in the corner of my newly decorated living room. The only thing that I am looking to change is the filter (internal, submerged filters aren’t really my thing so I will look to replace this with a decent external filter soon but that’s just my preference and not a criticism of tank set up).
