Hi, does anyone know if I will have any problems using a fluval 304 filter
with my juwel vision 180. I'm not sure about how the pipes will fit with the
juwel hood, and also how they will attach and look in the aquarium?

cheers

Hi, I have the Jewell Rio 180, same as yours without the bow front and I use
the Fluval 304MSF with no problems. Had to cut 2 new holes in the hood but
that was easy enough with a stanley knife. The pipes all attach with suckers
and don't look to bad especially hidden by plants.

thanks Andy, does it move the surface of the water well enough to put air
into it?

Sorry please disregard that last post as I have found a copy of the manual
online. just one thing though, have you been able to put the filter into one
of the cupboards under you aquarium?

No problem at all, put mine in the left hand section, loads of room (when
the middle shelf is taken out). Cant see any pipes or cables, excellent.

You can cut notches in the plastic back rail ( the glass stops about an
inch below the top) with an hacksaw. You don't have to cut the flaps or see
any pipework.
