Title: Boyu 300 litre curved glass aquarium
Post by: Stuart on September 28, 2013, 09:02:41 PM

Hi, I am thinking about getting this make of aquarium, purely because it is so much cheaper than any other make for the similar or even smaller size.

It is sold through All Pond Solutions and measures 48" x 17" x 29"

Does anyone have any experience with this particular tank manufacturer?

Stuart.

I've not read anything about Boyu tanks, but All Pond Solutions tanks seem to be good except for the quality of the finish on the lid and trim. If they are in fact made by the same company, I would expect similar trim quality.

Thanks Sue,

I have read a few reviews on Amazon, but I hoped to find someone on here who had one. I'd then be able to chat and ask for some specifics. Not to worry though, I think I will go ahead and order one. If I brought a smaller but "better" make, I'd always regret not getting the bigger one.

I must admit, when I was looking in World of Water, the jewel tanks seem to have flimsy lids.

I've had my juwel rio 125 since 2006 and the only sign of wear on the lid is the dust I don't clean off often enough :-[ It has coped well with my clumsiness, the edges still look like new. But I don't have children messing with it (they are in their 30s and know better  ;D ) or anything like a cat sleeping on it. I don't know how well they would cope with any use other than just opening and shutting daily, and lifting off to give a good clean (when I get round to it)
