Biorb tanks?

[lady_tanksalot]

if you can't get a bigger tank, why not advertise him on here in the buy sell or swap section

at least then you'll know he's going to a knowledgeable home

I am looking into getting a new tank the big new ones are sooooo expensive £350 plus 350+, shall have to go bargain hunting

 

[lady_tanksalot]

I'd look in your local free ads too. I got mine from there, and saved about £30.

do you know for the price of the bioorb, you can get a 50 gallon set up?

I have a bio orb, you cant stock it too much and the oxygen is an issue but the bubbles go someway to combating this as they do break the surface allowing better oxygen transfer than what it would have without

It is a nice starter tank in that you cant do much to bugger up the gravel as there is so much surface area to the substrate that it is near on impossible to kill off the bacteria by being over zealous when vacuuming it (as long as you dont take it out or chlorinate it!)

In fact the only limits that made me move on was that I couldnt get the cory cats I was brainwashed on this site to want so much

I feel that bioorb has a place in the market and has brought many people into fish keeping that otherwise wouldnt have started had the orb not been invented, i know for a fact I would not have ket fish over the past three years without the invention of one, to the best of my knowledge there was never a fish tank before this that people could honestly say looked good in their livingroom in its own right, despite not due to the fish in it.
