Finest-Filters 5 x Compatible With Biorb Filter Set/Service Kit

Product Information

Is there a water level indicator installed in the water tank? The water level cannot be seen in the APP. However, the APP will let you know when you will need to refill your water reservoir. Forcing bubbles of air up the central tube, the filtration system ensures that 100% of the water capacity is circulated around the BiOrb and through the filters. This creates oxygen for the fish to breathe and removes carbon dioxide. When it comes to the positives, let us first start off with what this aquarium is primarily made up of. Instead of glass, biOrb chooses acrylic as the go-to manufacturing material for this particular model. Acrylic is much lighter than glass in comparison. Overall, it offers better clarity as well and uniquely balances both functional and decorative purposes. Can I add fertilisers to the misting reservoir? No, anything added to the fogger reservoir will be vaporized into mist and eventually precipitate on to all internal surface possibly causing irreparable damage.

VIVARIUM What is the job of UVA light and what is the lifetime? UV-A stimulates pigmentation. Lifetime of the light is 20,000 hours Make sure it is in a dark area (even non-direct sunlight can be strong enough to accelerate algae growth). Unsure about an external, not really sure how they go in the tank (the pipes, etc) as I've never had one, so I'm sorry about that. You could maybe try a small air driven sponge filter - it would be similar to the BiOrbs but perhaps you could position it differently? With such a small and portable body with hidden filtration features, one would not expect this aquarium to keep the water all that clean. However, the biOrb surprised us in that category as well.

Moreover, the LED and the filter share the same electric lighting, and so rushing out to find another extension cord will not be necessary. What about the biOrb Aquarium disappoints? How scratch resistant is the acrylic? Acrylic, while very clear can be scratched. In case of small scratches, the 46026 scratch remover polish from the biOrb aquarium range can be used to restore the acrylic.

Apart from the convenient LED lighting, the biOrb will also provide you with an onboard functional filtration system. It also provides a catalog of the fish which best suit this model, along with certain fish feed and extra filtration mediums so that you don’t have to work all that hard to keep the tank fit and running. Can the heating be switched off from below? The heater cable can be switched on and off within the OASE Control APP. What about using smooth glass pebbles for a substrate? I know the ceramic media contains bacteria, but doesn't the filter sponge too? The sponge doesn't need changing unless it's falling apart (even so, changing it in stages is best so you don't lose the bacteria in it), so you should always have some bacteria in there. He still might not be able to build a bubble nest, but at least his fins wouldn't get torn. Infact, that was one of the main reasons that my betta got a new tank - I upgraded in October, but his fins still haven't recovered and I fear the damage may be permenant. You can see my betta in my display pic - when I bought him, he had long flowing fins which weren't too far from looking like those of a halfmoon (though he was a veiltail, of course) when he flared. Big difference now. I'd advise you cover up the substrate soon to prevent your bettas fins becoming too bad, even if it takes longer for you to sort out a filter. Can I use tap water in the base of my biOrb AIR? Yes, where it is not turned into mist for humidity, it is okay to use ordinary tap water in the base of your biOrb AIR. This kit comes with 2kg Biogravel, coarse and medium density foams, fine pad and gel filter starter balls.Another advantage that acrylic has over glass is that it’s much more scratch resistant. It’s flexible enough to resist bumps and physical damage better, and even if it falls from a greater height and breaks, the pieces are easier to remove than glass as well. The Filtration Why is my Misting Unit only working occasionally? The misting unit will only mist when the humidity has dropped. The biOrb AIR has been designed to retain humidity and reduce the need for repeated topping up of the misting reservoir. There are three basic forms of filtration in a BiOrb fish tank: biological, chemical and mechanical. Can small flies/food escape through the venting system? The biOrb EARTH outlets are equipped with a fine mesh foam which keeps inhabitants and their food inside the enclosure. What is the job of UVB light and what is the lifetime? UV-B stimulates vitamin D3 synthesis from the precursor vitamin D2. Lifetime of the light is 20,000 hours.

Not many aquariums can boast itself to be coffee table worthy. However, the biOrb is so practically designed that it will not look out of place wherever you keep it.Can I use tap water in the reservoir? We only recommend to use Humidimist. Using tap water will make the guarantee void. Reason for the need to use Humidimist is that we cannot guarantee the functionality of the product worldwide due to variations in water quality. What is the job of infrared light and what is the lifetime? The Infrared & RGB LEDs that are in the biOrb EARTH fulfil the rest of the needed wavelength for reptiles. Infrared wavelengths are the primary terrestrial wavelengths known to penetrate the skin. This means that they are more effective at heating animals.​ Infrared-A is also known as ‘near infrared’.​ It is the shortest wavelength within the group: 750-1400 nanometers. That is because it is the closest to visible light – that which humans can see. It has a high energy and is beneficial for animals. This is because the photons penetrate into the dermis of the skin. Infrared replicates 850nm and 940nm.
