Thannks so much for all the information! It's really helpful. I'm thinking of only getting a 60l tank so maybe not beg enough for Angels anyway. The rest of teh above should be fine though hey? I'm really surprised at the Neons, I assumed they would be easy to keep. If I get any I'll make...

60cm's the max :( I reckon I'm probably going to go for a 60l as I'm getting a bit scared by these bigger ones! (Am 5'5" and I think I might struggle!) :) Plus, how much do these things weigh as I'm not sure the sideboard would take it. If 60l is too small for Angels I'll have to stick to the...

45cm wouldn't be a problem, thanks for looking onto this for me. I've always liked angel fish but knew they needed plenty of room, glad I can accomodate! (Other half is looking a little concerned but as I've said, if we're going to get a tank it's best to get one the right size first time...

My unit is 40cm deep and 60cm approx wide, no height restriction, it's not in a corner. I've seen the shrimp and thought they would be a good addition, seeing as I've gone off the Orb idea I guess I could have some now? I love angel fish (yet another reason not to get a biorb), guppies, golden...

Thanks for the info, good to get point of view from a previous BiOrb owner! Doesn't sound like a very good buy I have to say. As a beginner it's difficult to know where to start. I've got a limited space, are there any tanks that you would recommend? (the easier to keep the better for a...

Hi Dimensions of unit are 40cm x 60cm, height no probs, work your magic! I've had a quick look at the above and they look really good. I'm looking for something modern/unusual if poss.

Hmmm, much to think about. I totally seee what you're saying and have to say you make your points very well. It seems the only real benefit of these tanks is the visual look and they don't really take into consideration the main points which are healthy happy fish and ease of maintenance...

Hi, hope you saw the reply, just getting to grips with this and has gone onto origional question! Another important point is that it must be a closed tank as I have 3 kitties! Thanks for the advice will search for other alternatives and be back for your views!

I know those tanks aren't very well rated, they look really good and they sound quite easy to maintain (is this the case?). I haven't got my heart set on anything yet and if I can find something as nice but is a better option for the fish I will obviously go for that. Can I ask why these tanks...

I am keen to buy either a 60l Biorb or a Fluval Edge tank. I know there are restrictions on numbers of fish etc. for these as I have read up on this and will be keeping the numbers to a minimum. I wanted your opinions on which of the two is the best option. I don't have much space and either of...

Newbie!
