Keira-Knightley in Pinewood Photo Shoot

Underwater photos from some of Pinewood Studios’ most famous films are to go on display for the first time this month and Reef One aquariums are to star alongside them. biOrb’s, aways a smash hit with Films Stars, are being displayed along side some of the finest underwater photographs taken at Pinewood studio’s.

Pinewood Studios, where some of the most successful films and television shows of the last 70 years have been filmed, is displaying an exclusive collection of underwater photographs taken at the studio’s own 1.2 million litre underwater stage. The show is being supported by Reef One who are providing a collection of their award-winning fish tanks, Baby biOrb’s and biOrb LIFE aquariums to feature along side the stunning underwater imagery.

The photographs, by diver and photographer Phoebe Rudomino, offer a rare glimpse into the workings of the studio’s world famous underwater stage. The exhibition, at the Movieum in London, is made up of breathtaking images of underwater shoots for film, TV, commercials and pop videos, celebrating Britain’s creativity. Jared Leto, Sharon Stone, Matt Lucas and James Blunt are amongst the stars captured performing underwater, alongside sets from Casino Royale, The Da Vinci Code and Elizabeth: The Golden Age.

Reef One was approached by Pinewood studios to display its aquariums alongside the photography, and marketing manager Tom Crosswell said they are honoured to be working with Pinewood on such an exciting exhibition; “The exhibition showcases the imagination and ingenuity involved in producing many  breathtaking famous underwater scenes. We’re sure that placing biOrb aquariums amongst the displays will compliment the exhibition and help to bring the underwater feeling to life even further.”

The private viewing and silent auction took place on the 30th September with proceeds going to WaterAid and First Light. Both charities were inviting support for the event from their celebrity representatives including Daniel Craig, Kate Beckinsale, Sienna Miller, Orlando Bloom, Joseph Fiennes, Danny Boyle, Keira Knightley and Joanna Lumley.

The show is running for 4 weeks from the 1st October 2009 at the Movieum of London, County Hall.

Biorb Scratch Remover & Polish – What Not To Do!

November 9th, 2009

WARNINGS ABOUT THE BIORB SCRATCH REMOVER

I have used biorb scratch remover and polish on the inside of my biorb tank. (I first drained & empteied it completely, then used it, then cleaned it thoroughly, then filled it back up and put my fish in it).  However, I just found out that Reef One says that the BIORB SCRATCH REMOVER SHOULD NOT BE USED ON THE INSIDE OF YOUR TANK.

If you do use it on the inside of your tank, you might kill your fish, apparently I was lucky.

WHEN YOUR TANK GETS SCRATCHED

I love my biorb, but I don’t love getting scratches in it when I clean my tank.  I have talked with a lot of other people who get scratches on the inside of their biorb aquariums when they are cleaning it.  The tank gets scratched when you move the ceramic media around with a biorb siphon hose or biorb cleaning pump.  Biorb ceramic media is really rough and if you move it around it WILL SCRATCH your biorb or biube.

WHAT TO DO:

If you are cleaning your biorb fish tank try scooping out the ceramic media with your hand first, placing it in a cup or bowl filled WITH WATER FROM YOUR TANK.  After you remove the ceramic media then siphon your tank and the waste off the bottom of your aquarium.  Then put the ceramic media back in by handfuls so you don’t scratch it.

Is a Biorb Aquarium Right For You?

October 14th, 2009

Reef-One has sold close to a million biorb aquariums since the Biorb first launched, many of which are owned by celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow & Ryan Seacrest.There are a ton of tanks, but is the biorb the right aquarium for you?This article discusses the top reasons that thousands have purchased a bi orb aquarium and will help you determine if a bi orb fish tank is right for you.

There are hundreds of aquariums to choose from when you are shopping for an aquarium.  There are dozens of aquarium kits, so out of all of them, why should you choose a bio orb?

Biorb Strengths – Here’s a few things that make the Biorb different.

•    The Biorb’s stylish design has enamored thousands, including dozens of celebrities who own one. (Just a few are Gwyneth Paltrow, Ryan Seacrest, Mariah Carey, & Jessica Alba)
•    Everything you need to start the aquarium is included, even fish food
•    There are over nine different biorb tanks & sizes to choose from, and several colors
•    Biorb care is easy with the snap & twist biorb service kit
•    Biorb Aquariums have five stages of filtration for healthy fish

Everything You Need to Start the Aquarium is Included

The Biorb comes with everything you need to get your aquarium started, besides the fish.  It comes with a biorb service kit, water dechlorinator, light, air pump, filter, airstone, fish food sample, and ceramic media.

The bi orb doesn’t come with a siphon hose, and we recommend the biorb siphon hose to help clean your tank.

The Biorb Line has 9 different tanks

The biorb aquarium line ranges in size from four to sixteen gallons it means you can find an aquarium that is the right size for you.  If you want to keep things simple and put a betta on your office desk, the baby biorb aquarium (4 gallons) will work great for you.If you want to have a larger tank set up with multiple tropical fish, or you want to have a marine aquarium, the 16 gallon bi orb or biorb life are the best tanks to choose.

The regular biorb comes in a four, eight, or 16 gallon size, the biube comes in two, 9 gallon models, and the biorb life aquariums come in 8, 12, or 16 gallon sizes.

The Biorb Lines are the Classic Biorb, Biorb Life, & Biube Aquariums

Low Maintenance

Chances are you are busy, and don’t want to use hours every week cleaning your tank.Bio orb Aquariums are easy to clean.The Biorb Service Kit has five levels of filtration and is easily replaced in a few seconds with a snap and twist. You can easily maintain a healthy biorb aquarium by spending less than an hour a month.

Things to Consider Before Buying a Biorb

Bi orb aquariums, like any aquarium, have limitations.

Research the fish you are planning on getting, before you buy them.Make sure you know how large your fish grow to be, and if they are going to outgrow your tank you should choose different fish.  Some fish aren’t suitable for the biorb aquarium, for example, some fish require more than 16 gallons of water, or require running water and lots of plants to stay healthy.The biorb isn’t a great fish tank if you want dozens of tropical or saltwater fish.

Don’t try to put too many fish in your biorb, fish need space, a rough rule of fish keeping is one inch of fish per gallon of water.

Baby Biorb Moonlight Now Available In U.S.

September 12th, 2009

If you have a baby biorb you may have seen the biorb intelligent led light and wished that you had one.  Unfortunately, the Biorb Intelligent Light doesn’t fit the baby biorb.  Reef One has had a similar light available for the baby biorb called the baby biorb moonlight, but it has only been available in the UK.  Now the Baby Moonlight is in the U.S.A.

If you are looking for a better light for your baby biorb aquarium, this is it.  It automatically senses when it is dark and then the blue moonlight turns on.  It retails for around $50.
