biOrb Classic 30 Acrylic 8-Gallon Aquarium with White LED Lights Modern Tank for Tabletop Display, Silver

The media could not be loaded. Meets every expectation! Most beautiful aquarium I've ever owned!NOTE - I have 20+ years experience keeping fish. But after reading so many negative comments (most of which are on the silver MCR-light version), just to make sure, I talked with my local fish store equipment experts to make sure the little guys in my current tank would transition ok to this new tank, before I even bought it.Here's my advice: Regardless, buy the air stream cap!! It's only $2, & it will make sure nobody gets stuck in that tube! (See newer pic with assassin snail).-If this is a brand new aquarium for you, I would set it up according to the instructions. *Yes the air pump will be loud if it's right next to the surface the tank is on, as it vibrates. I recommend putting the BiOrb on a cabinet/stand with a drawer/shelf inside that you can put the air pump in (with a hole in the back for the tube to connect through).*Keep in mind most tropical fish need a heater (yes the tank lid has space for its chord), so I would buy one. If you don't want to buy any decor not sold by BiOrb (like live plants & wood), you'll need to start slowly with your fish. I would add any bottom feeders (shrimp, snails, ottos) on the 1st day that you can add fish, & NOTHING else. (BiOrb DOES NOT recommend corys with their pebbles just FYI.) Wait another 2-3 more days, then add your other fish. Stay away from micro breeds & any digging breeds (again due to their pebbles) and don't overload the tank. The general rule is 1 inch of fish = 1 gallon of water. This model is an 8-gal tank, so no more than 8 fish total. Again, talking with your fish store expert will help. If everyone's happy in 8 months, you can be more flexible with this.-If you are transitioning fish from an old tank to this one, this will work great. Don't use the fake pebbles that come with the tank if you're fish are smaller than 2". These pebbles are large & oddly shaped (& this is why small fish get stuck in the filter). Use standard, large aquarium gravel, or river rocks as I have here. The goal is to cover the filter enough that no one will get caught inside, but there will still be flow. Sand is a no-no as it will get stuck in the filter. If you use substrate, you'll want to use it in combination with something else, & position it away from the filter. You might need a bottom feeder fish if you don't have any, &/or don't want to clean the tank with a gravel vac as the filter will work slightly slower with smaller gravel just FYI. As my picture shows, I've already moved all my rocks, wood & live plants to the new tank right away. I recommend this (your fish will be fine without decor for the 3-day period the BiOrb needs lol). This will establish the healthy biome faster, & prevent ammonia spikes when the fish are moved over. If you have a planted aquarium, I would move some, but not all, of that so neither tank's biome gets messed up. Also, I'm not using the water bio booster (that comes with) because I have live stuff already in the tank, again to prevent ammonia spikes. And I have my own water conditioner my fish like, so I'm also not using the one that comes with it.Hope this calms some nerves! This really is a beautiful aquarium, my fish will love it!!-------Update 2/23: Still love, love, love this aquarium! It took a few months to get the ideal balance between fish, decor placement, & cleaning (this is an 8 gallon, my previous tank size for over a decade was 5 & a completely different shape/setup)... But I expected that. Currently it has: Cardinals, a couple danios & platies, a licorice gourami, that snail, & two amano shrimp (one of which is preggers, so yeah everyone is pretty happy lol).

This fish tank is so cool and easy to clean! I think it’s a little on the expensive side, but it’s durable and a perfect size. The filter isn’t noisy and the lights are brilliant. I received many compliments before I even had put the actual fish and decor in which just made it even more appealing!

This tank is awesome. I was using a large, heavy glass vase for a previous tank with a plant through the top. But the opening was small, about 3 inches and the bottom cracked Wednesday night. Wanting another round tank, and in a hurry I ordered this. Its light, but sturdy. Beautifully transparent, and the mouth up top allows you to fit almost anything. And with a drill, and dremel I was able to do some modification to still have my plants throught the top and roots drape down into the tank! It's really rad. I could easily see myself getting a larger tank if desired in the future, or even the terrarium tanks if I felts froggy enough.Only recommendation or feauture i wish the product included was a cap for the bubble tower in the middle. When adding media or gravel into the tank it can easily go down in there which I feel is a negligible/minor oversight in development.

Purchased for daughter in law and family. This is very pretty and stylish . Some what hard to keep clean and she is very diligent with cleaning all of her possessions. She has been through about 10 Assorted Fish- Then they did Shrimp, the colorful ones. Maybe this Round Glass is hard on the fish- I mean the curve changes the view their eyes? Could this be Stressful.Bought couple years ago- so Had time to think. Now she only has 3 fish 2 snails THAT IS IT. They keep dyeing. She keeps trying. Did not have a heater or cleaning Objects, all that you need to get. I purchased for a Christmas Gift. Would make a nice Terrarium ?this is the Honest Truth for my family and using this ORB!

Just got it up and running. Water is crystal clear and ready to roll!

We bought this aquarium for our son as a Christmas gift. He was so excited to open it up and start the process of getting it ready for some fish. We followed the instructions to a T and waited the allotted time before getting 3 small guppies. After the first night, we woke up to cloudy water, which we thought didn’t seem right. We kept a close eye on the fish and they seemed to be ok. Day 2, we woke up to only one guppy and the two deceased guppies are no where to be found. Our son was absolutely devastated. Growing up, I’ve had my fair share of fish and definitely know how to take care of them. Before getting my son this Christmas present, I did quite a bit of research and felt buying the Biorb was going to not only fit in with our decor but be a great experience for him. To watch him run downstairs to say good morning to his new fish, to see the disappointment and defeat on his face when he can only find one fish, is absolutely heartbreaking.My husband and I are extremely disappointed with this purchase, especially with the amount of money we spent, not only on the tank but also the specifically designed Biorb decor. I wish we would have gone to our local pet store and purchased one of their tanks, which would have been cheaper. I will NEVER purchase a Biorb tank again. If only I could rate this product with ZERO stars, I would have.

Beautiful tank! Love it.. easy to put together and is very quiet

The instructions for this aquarium are horrible. Nothing is written, it’s all pictures. Very hard to understand.It doesn’t look like as advertised. I suppose I should have read the part about the included items more carefully.I have many questions about this product.
