How to Upgrade My Rio 125 Lighting

The Rio125 Aquarium from JUWEL Aquarium is equipped with an 80-centimeter-long High-Lite light unit and two, 28 watt Fluorescent light tubes. This standard lighting can easily be upgraded by installing the JUWEL Multilux light aystem. The new and improved JUWEL Multilux light system canopy offers twin T5 fluorescent tube output. It replaces by replacing the T8 fluorescent tubes with the latest T5 technology. The Multilux light aystem is a watertight system, which negates the need for cover glasses and thereby permits the maximum amount of light to penetrate the aquarium water. The lighting system is equipped with one High-Lite day tube and one High-Lite nature tube.
