Fluval Roma series

[vjl501tech]

Hi All,
I left the hobby for a while but looking to get back in.
I saw this series of tanks and they look promising.
However, I can’t find anything about them or where to order one.
Does anyone have experience with these set-ups? Any reviews?
Fluval is a big name but it seems strangle that there is very little info.
thank you
VL

I had the Roma 240 for 2 years. Solid tank. I used it for freshwater though on a 306 canister. No problems what so ever and looks nice too.
Are you planning to have the lid that comes with it?

Thank you, not sure about the lid, I’ll look into it. You’re in Norway I see.
i guess it’s easier to find in Europe. I’m in New York city and I get blank stares when I mention this at the aquarium store. Lol.
Did you have to assemble the stand?

just a freshwater tank so people on here are less likely to use them. Lid on top wont be great for o2 exchange. Fluval make low-mid tier equipment so I would make sure to check out the stand to make sure it isnt pressed wood with a veneer. The light it comes with is also a freshwater light, though I would pass on fluval lights anyway as they arent great for corals other than softies and lower light lps, good for fowlr though

Thank you for your reply. Also, where do they sell this?

Im on long island but i dont think i have seen them ever. Any places that carry fluval should be able to order it. The aquarium shop in westbury might be able to order it for you. Just looked at the specs though and it is only 16" wide which is just a nightmare to dial in flow and aquascape (had a 55 gallon in the past with similar width). Also double check that it is low iron glass, it is much clearer than standard glass and most good tank manufacturers will use it
