About this deal

Make sure it is in a dark area (even non-direct sunlight can be strong enough to accelerate algae growth).

What is the job of UVB light and what is the lifetime? UV-B stimulates vitamin D3 synthesis from the precursor vitamin D2. Lifetime of the light is 20,000 hours. VIVARIUM What is the job of UVA light and what is the lifetime? UV-A stimulates pigmentation. Lifetime of the light is 20,000 hours Can I use tap water in the reservoir? We only recommend to use Humidimist. Using tap water will make the guarantee void. Reason for the need to use Humidimist is that we cannot guarantee the functionality of the product worldwide due to variations in water quality.Why do I have to keep the biOrb out of sunlight? All aquariums should be kept out of sunlight. There are three main reasons why; Change/clean the filter more regularly. Leave a maximum of one month between changes until problem subsides.

Acrylic is much lighter than glass in comparison. Overall, it offers better clarity as well and uniquely balances both functional and decorative purposes. Can I add a heater to my biOrb and make it tropical? Yes. All biOrbs can be set up as a tropical aquarium simply by adding a standard aquarium heater. A 50-watt heater should provide plenty of heat. When it comes to the positives, let us first start off with what this aquarium is primarily made up of. Instead of glass, biOrb chooses acrylic as the go-to manufacturing material for this particular model.

The tank base should ideally be cleaned once a week to remove uneaten fish food and waste - if you use a gravel cleaner it will remove waste from base of tank and upper foam and it will also remove some water from the tank allowing for a partial water change. Even when a full cycle (0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 0 nitrate) is achieved weekly maintenance is essential to keep the tank clean and healthy.

Saw this on YouTube and sounded like a good idea, that is until I had water in tank and decided to take out the filter to adjust. Pushed all the media away from centre, but due to it being round it’s like digging in sand..just keeps rolling down and into the filter hole - I’m already thinking this is a bad idea.... and I’ve only just started cycling the tank(no fish in there yet!).... Can I use the biOrb EARTH if I do not have iOS / Android device? The biOrb EARTH needs to be controlled via an App on an iOS / Android device, either a tablet or mobile phone. Can I add more than one fish in the first month? You should not add another fish for at least 28 days unless you are closely monitoring the ammonia level (high ammonia build up can kill fish). Ammonia test kits only cost a few pounds and are a worthwhile buy. Once matured the bacteria will convert the ammonia to less harmful substances. You can dilute the ammonia with 1/3 water changes if it does get high, if you are unsure of what level it is at or if you have added more than one fish. Moreover, the LED and the filter share the same electric lighting, and so rushing out to find another extension cord will not be necessary. What about the biOrb Aquarium disappoints? The aquarium comes with a five-stage filtration system that cleans the water in five unique and separate stages. Where the standard filters clean the entirety of the water at one go using one single process; this system, on the other hand, divides the load into “biological, mechanical, chemical, water stabilization and oxygenation”.But do keep in mind that the lighting and filter will need an outlet within them and hence, as long as that requirement is satisfied, you can place this aquarium anywhere you choose. Perfect for Beginner The gel filter starter balls should be added in with media - most people put them on top of foams then cover with biogravel. They will slowly dissolve and seed the media (biogravel) with beneficial bacteria. Can small flies/food escape through the venting system? The biOrb EARTH outlets are equipped with a fine mesh foam which keeps inhabitants and their food inside the enclosure. Forcing bubbles of air up the central tube, the filtration system ensures that 100% of the water capacity is circulated around the BiOrb and through the filters. This creates oxygen for the fish to breathe and removes carbon dioxide. How scratch resistant is the acrylic? Acrylic, while very clear can be scratched. In case of small scratches, the 46026 scratch remover polish from the biOrb aquarium range can be used to restore the acrylic.

What can I grow in my biOrb AIR? Depending on whether you choose AIR 30 or 60 your choice of plants is wide. AIR 60 is specifically designed for tropical plants, whereas the AIR 30 can support tropical, temperate and arid species. The key is to choose plants that grow together in the same climate. For example, you would not choose a tropical plant like an orchid and an arid cactus together. They require two very different climates. For clarity, we list the plants under their Latin names below. Many of them are also known under more common names. Suitable arid plants include; Aloe, Conophytum, Echeveria, Haworthia, Sansevieria, Sempervivum, Senecio, Austrocylindropuntia, Astrophytum, Cleistocactus, Dolichothele, Echinopsis, Euphorbia lactea compacta, Acanthocereus tetragonus, Ferocactus, Lobivia, Mammillaria, Crassula, Lithops, Parodia magnifica. Suitable temperate plants include; Tillandsia Cyanea, Tillandsia Festucoides, Tillandsia Ionantha Rubra, Tillandsia Brachycaulos x Abdita, Tillandsia Fillifolia, Tillandsia Ionantha Fuego, Tillandsia Tricolor Melanocrater, Dionaea muscipula, Drosera Aliceae, Pinquicula, Sarracenia, Heliamphora nutans x heterdoxa. Suitable tropical plants include; Fittonia Skeleton bicolour, Fittonia Red, Fittonia Lemon, Fittonia White, Peperomia, Rotundifolia, Peperomia Angulata, Peperomia verticillata, Peperomia mixed, Ball / Pillow Moss, Micro Phalaenopsis, Ceratostylis Retisquama, Haraella Ordorata, Psygmorchis pusilla, Ornithidium Sophrontis, Ornithophora Radicans. When it comes to the cons, one gripe that we do have with this aquarium is with the price tag. Sure, the tank itself is sturdy and made with high-quality materials, however for the price that we pay for it, we did expect it to come with some accessories which it didn’t.This kit comes with 2kg Biogravel, coarse and medium density foams, fine pad and gel filter starter balls.
