biOrb Service Kit 6 pack
The filter cartridge works like a waste bin, trapping dirt, once full it should be thrown away and replaced with a new one. This should be done every 1-2 months. A partial water change of 30% should be carried out at the same time. Contents: Replacement filter cartridge, Algae cleaning cloth, Sachet of water preparation chemicals.
User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Overpriced
Reef-One claims this filter needs to be changed every month, which is ridiculous. I think they lose a lot of potential customers this way. I rinse the filter out in old tank water during partial water changes, and replace the charcol they provide with a little charcol from a $5 jug purchased at PetSmart. I check my water quality (nitrite and nitrate) every 2 weeks and my tank is in perfect shape.
5 Stars So far, so good
I purchased this after I took down a larger full sized tank. Found out that I could not live without fish, with a grandchild. The small orb works well. I have had it set up for several weeks. Pump is quiet, but then I had had pump issues with larger tanks, so I really don’t hear this one. The light truly lights up the unit and of course, if you have a fish in a globe environment, it will have different appearances. I have one Beta in at this time, and the bubbles don’t really give it any problem. I purchased a device to place over the air unit, to dispurse the air somewhat. I do watch the food go up and down with the currents, but in short, this works quite well. I did decide to purchase a heater, which I have not received yet. I think this is a good unit when downsizing a larger tank, if you choose to do so.
4 Stars Reef One biOrb Aquarium Service Kit (6 Pack)
The kit is easy to use, although I completely emptied the tank because there had been no fish in it for about a year. The only draw back is that you can only buy it in 6 packs. I would like to be able to purchase them as I need them in single units.
4 Stars BioOrb Filter easy to install and it works
The Bio Orb filter pack comes with almost all needed items to install filter and keep tank water clean. Good packaging. Would have gotten a Five Star if they had included the necessary air stone in the package. As it is you have to buy the air stones separately which is inconvenient.
1 Star don’t waste money on a biOrb
these filters are useless. BiOrb aquariums may be cool looking but they are poorly designed and always foul.
