Juwel stuff

Hi

I've just bought a Juwel Rio 400, and am a bit confused over what I still
need to buy.

eg Structured Background STR600: do I need three of these, or are there more
than one in a pack ?

Reflectors: will I need these for coldwater fish and live plants ? If so,
do the clips come as well ? Are there two in a pack, or buy separately ?

Sorry for so many questions, but I can't wait to get started as it's too
cold for the pond :-)

Don't buy the backgrounds! I took them out of my Rio 400 - still have them
in the trigon but wouldn't get any more.
You can have any background you fancy behind the tank & the back of the tank
is cleanable & more important you can stick extra filters to the glass.
The reflectors come with the clips.
I would get at least one otherwise you will get blinded each time you open
the hood.
You can seed the filter from your pond filter to avoid a cycle.

Thanks Sue

This does indeed help :-)
So I need two reflectors ?

What do you have behind your Rio400 now ?

Sorry for all the questions
