Today we’re checking out the big brother to the Fluval Studio 600, the Fluval Studio 900. Much like the 600, the larger 900 happens to be an appealing designer tank. Fluval appear to have it cracked on the subject of designing good-looking, superior quality aquariums. This is no exception but it isn’t the lowest priced available on the market so, if the 900 is your thing, you’d better start cracking open the piggy banks now!

At 46 cm wide x 94 cm long x 55cm high and holding approx 180 ltrs of the clear stuff the 900 is a good size. Add to this the cabinet at 46cm wide x 94 cm long x 80 cm high and you’ve a sizeable piece of equipment, albeit a truly appealing piece of equipment. As part of the package are:-

All in quite a nice package. Plus if you opt for your 900 (or 600 for that matter) from Aquarium House (http://www.aquariumhouse.co.uk) additionally, you’ll get:- a Japanese plant and driftwood 100cm background, Dorset Natural Gravel (23Kg), aquarium fish net (5in) and Easy Clean gravel cleaner (medium).

The 900, as well as being larger than the 600 (180 litre capacity in comparison to 120 litre capacity) is more expensive. The RRP of the 900 is 611.75 (509.62 RRP for the 600) but, realistically, you ought to be looking to pay around the 570 mark.

If you can’t stretch to that then some tropical fish tank alternatives include the Fluval Osaka 155 (as the name suggest 155 litre capacity) retails for around 290 or the Juwel Rio 180 (180 litre capacity) which retails for around 300. To sum up, the Fluval Studio 900 is a superb looking, well built tank/cabinet combo. It is typical of Fluval’s top quality engineering. The black gloss finish on the cabinet is nothing short of stunning and the drilled holes in the base have always been a great idea. It’s a little pricey but it’s true that you get what you pay for!
