Thursday, February 3, 2011 biOrb Aquarium Kit with Light Fixture Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I totally recommend this aquarium kit for anyone just starting out in the fish-keeping hobby.Vitually everything you'll need comes in the box. However, when I bought my BiOrb a year ago, there was no heater included.If you want to keep tropical fish, you will likely need to purchase BiOrb's heater kit if they haven't yet decided to include a heater in the package.You can purchase a small heater at any good pet store, but it's likely to be a bit of an eyesore in the BiOrb.

I keep 3 dwarf African frogs and one dwarf puffer in the BiOrb and there is ample room.Cleaning day is about every 8 weeks and is generally only a matter of changing a few gallons of water and taking out the old filter cartridge and putting a new one in.The tank is well-aerated and you never see fish gasping for air at the top.Plus, it's a gorgeous tank.

My only complaint is that when I bought the BiOrb, I had no idea that they would soon come out with a 16-gallon version.I definitely would have gotten the larger tank, since with the smaller one, you have to severely limit the number of fish or aquatic creatures you keep in it.With the 16 gallon tank, you can have double the number of pets.Still, I'm very happy with my BiOrb.
