Biorb Aquariums

Setting up a Biorb Tropical Aquarium

A warm water aquarium allows you to choose from a wide range of colourful fish and invertebrates, such as shrimp. 

To have a tropical fish tank all you’ll need to do is add a heater to your biOrb.

There are plenty to choose from and like most things you generally get what you pay for. A standard glass tube style heater will suffice, and it’s also a good idea to get an aquarium thermometer so you can keep a close eye on the temperature. A digital one is easy to read and they are not expensive. These are available as biOrb accessories.

Once set up, a tropical tank can be looked after quite easily and needs very little maintenance. It’s worth repeating that the best advice is to take your time. 

Don’t be tempted to add too many fish too quickly. 

Why? Because when you add a fish to an aquarium, the aquariums bacteria start to multiply to catch up with the waste they produce. If you add too many fish too quickly, the aquarium simply won’t be able to keep up and the water will become toxic.
