Biorb Aquarium Reviews: Biorb Fish Tanks, The Good & Bad

I have been checking the Everything Biorb Blog all morning waiting to see when they would publish what the “big savings” were, and it is finally up.  The big announcement was that they are selling a coupon book with over $150 in coupon codes and discounts for biorb aquariums & supplies.  I went ahead and checked it out, and it seems like a pretty good deal.  Since I have a couple biorb tanks I figure I will use the codes over the next year or two (they never expire) and I will definitely get my money out of it, its only $12.95.  I figure if I use one of the $10 coupon codes I’ve already made my money back.

I went ahead and bought mine & didn’t have any problems, here is a list of all the coupons that come with the Everything Biorb Coupon Book.  So if you think you will use them and its worth $13, what do you have to lose?

1. 10 off any order
2. $5 off any order of $25 or more
3. $10 off any order of $45 or more
4. $15 off any order of $65 or more
5. $20 off any acrylic biorb stand
6. $20 off any order of $105 or more
7. $10 off any order of $90 or more
8. $22 off any order of $122 or more
9. 10% off any biorb life aquarium
10. $15 off any biorb or biube aquarium purchase over $80

Here is an excerpt from Everything Biorb’s blog -
“It is time for our announcement, we have created a way to save you a ton of money on your biorb supplies and accessories, our Biorb Coupon Book.

Ever get sick of reading long product manuals?  We do too, that’s why today we are highlighting a video showing the basics of setting up a biorb aquarium.  The aquarium being set up is the baby biorb aquarium.  The whole setup process for the baby biorb only takes about 10-15 minutes although the video is only a few minutes long.  After setting up your biorb aquarium make sure you cycle the aquarium before adding fish and refer to the instruction manual for how many fish to add, and how quickly to add fish to your biorb or biube tank. Enjoy!

If you have a Baby Biorb, Biorb Life, or any of the Bio Orb Aquariums you should be familiar with the biorb service kit.  The Service Kit is the basic filter that is used in all the Biorb Aquariums.  So you’ve used, cleaned, and replaced a biorb service kit, but do you know what the service kit does, or what makes it different from other aquarium filters?  This post highlights the Biorb Service Kit, both its design & functionality, in order to help show why the biorb service kit is special.

Biorb Service Kit Filter Cartridge

In all the biorb aquariums the mechanical and chemical filtration is housed in the easy-to-change filter cartridge (service kit). This cartridge is replaced when the chemicals are depleted and before the mechanical filter becomes blocked ensuring that the water conditions remain optimal for your fish.

The unique cartridge based filtration system inside all biOrbs and biUbes has been specifically designed to effectively and safely eliminate the organic waste produced by fish and uneaten food, keeping the water clear and the fish healthy. In order to keep water quality high all Biorb/Biube aquariums use five separate stages to optimize the water, meaning less maintenance for you and a healthier environment for your fish. The 5 stages of water optimization consist of biological, mechanical, chemical, water stabilization, and oxygenation.

Mechanical Filtration

The Standard Biorb Service Kit filter cartridge includes a chemically nonreactive mechanical filter that traps particulates, like fish waste and uneaten food, as they pass through. Unlike many aquariums, Reef One’s mechanical filter is separate from the biological filtration allowing the removal and disposal of the filter cartridge, containing the mechanical filter, without affecting the biological filtration. Replacing the mechanical filter housed in the easy to change filter cartridge ensures that the trapped particulates don’t have time to break down and adversely affect the water quality.

Chemical Filtration

The chemical filtration in the filter cartridge is a blend of different resin particles selected to remove toxic substances, other than ammonia and nitrite which is broken down by the biological filtration. Certain organics can discolor aquarium water making it yellow, while also reducing light penetration. The highly effective resins bond with these substances at a molecular level to ensure the aquarium water quality remains high. The chemical filtration is located in the easy to change filter cartridge ensuring that chemical filtration can be removed when depleted (typically every 6-8 weeks).

Biological Filtration

As many of you know one of the most important aspects of a healthy aquarium is biological filtration.  Biological filtration occurs when beneficial bacteria within your aquarium break down harmful fish waste and chemicals, this process takes place after your aquarium has cycled.  In the Biorb Aquariums the biological filtration takes place in the Biorb Ceramic Media.  This means that you can replace the filter, without removing the beneficial bacteria that help to break down fish waste in your aquarium.
