Biorb Life Portrait Aquariums

[Phishy25]

After a recent visit to my LFS I noticed the new (well new to me, might have been out ages ) Biorb Life Portrait tanks. I think they look really trendy and would love one in my bedroom with some shrimp, maybe some tetras. I especially like the 60l in black. Does anyone have one? I think they look nicer than the old ball shaped Biorb and easier to clean.

Would have picked one up if it hadn't been in excess of £250!!!!

I have one.

As a piece of furnture they are nice, and easy on the eye.
But they are not practical for fish, which should be taken into account before anything else.
The footprint (length x width) is not a lot, but the height is big, which isn't really that useful. The airpumps are also quite noisy.

Plus, for that money you can get a really nice setup.
