These tanks are popular and well known for its classic fish bowl look along with its unique high technological filtration system. The Biorb fish tank is acrylic, which is lighter (about 50% lighter) in weight and very strong making it less likely to break. If you thought it was difficult before to carry your tank with water before-you will be quite surprised at how light it feels when filled.

The Biorb was created with the idea of giving consumers the feel of the fish bowl, but the system of an aquarium. This tank can hold more water; it has five filtration stages and is able to provide oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. Fish handlers will find that this system has very little maintenance; however, the environment is much healthier than your typical fish bowl. The tanks clean clear water lasts for at least a few months.

If you are concerned about the temperature and want to bring in a few tropical fish, it is easy to add a heater and thermometer.

The Biorb fish tanks popularity has grown because fish owners are able to provide a very healthy environment for their fish without having to sacrifice the beauty of the tank. These tanks are available in either 30 or 60 liter maximum capacity.

Is the Biorb right for you?

I remember getting my first fish tank for the kids thinking that this investment will be low-upkeep and the tank will just magically clean itself-wrong! If you have never kept a fish tank before-there is much that goes into it and various things to consider before making that purchase. These tips can go for any fish tank.

Never place too many fish in one tank as it can become overcrowded and quickly create an unhealthy environment for your fish. In regards to how many fish can be placed in your tank is very much estimated. Some say its one-inch of fish for every gallon of water and other say one inch of fish for every three gallons of water.

The best thing you can do is not to go over one inch of fish for every gallon (let this be your maximum). When using this rule, you must consider the fish full-sized and not the size when you first buy it. For example, when an oscar is full-sized, it usually has to be in the tank by itself or no more than two at a time depending on your tank size. These species of fish tend to double and triple in size very quickly.

Even though the Biorb fish tank is low maintenance, just like most fish tanks, some maintenance has to be involved in order to keep the environment healthy for the fish. Pick a tank that suits your experience level of keeping fish and research what you need to learn in order to provide your fish with a consistent clean atmosphere.
