biOrb Classic Aquarium Tank: A Sophisticated and Stylish Home for Your Fish

Beth: The media could not be loaded.  I’m just going to say this is by far my favorite adult purchase EVER. I have owned many aquariums throughout the years, and this is the most beautiful one by far. I like the uniqueness of having a sphere shaped aquarium. Since it’s new (to me) I followed the directions for setup and it works perfectly. It’s easy to maintain and changing the filter is quick and effortless. The clarity is awesome as well. The pump is quiet and I’ve managed to keep my fish alive (big bonus) because I follow the recommended guidelines for maintenance. I have a lot of decorations in my tank and it still runs efficiently and the water stays crystal clear. The color changing lights are really awesome. At night, I turn it on blue or purple, it’s mesmerizing to look at!

L JanetteL Janette: The media could not be loaded.  First off, the aquarium itself does look beautiful and I do appreciate the filter being at the bottom of the tank. I’ve had this aquarium since April 2023 (first time being a fish owner) with that being said I don’t blame the tank entirely. There are a few things I needed to learn myself.

My biggest complaint is the filters, they are a bit pricey in my opinion. Started at $9.95 each and recently I saw them go up to $13 with a subscription. I’ve had to change them frequently (again that might have been my fault with over feeding the fish) I will be trying others that are not from BiOrb see how that works.

The acrylic does scratch easily if you're not careful and you cannot use anything abrasive when cleaning it.
With that being said I wasn’t a big fan of the media that came with it. However, they do explain that in the instructions.

Last complaint is that if you have small fish they can easily get caught inside the tube, BiOrb sells the bubble tube guard/cap for $7 bucks, but this is a safety issue for your pet fish and find it absurd to have to purchase separately and it not being included with the aquarium...

lilmonsterlilmonster: Product came well packaged. Inside the box was food and water safe which I wasn’t expecting. Superb quality and easy to set up. Easy to clean. I have 5 fancy goldfish inside and all seem happy and have enough space. Love all the colour change options

Amazon Customer: I used to have classic 30 lights stopped working after two years of using, now I extended to classic 60 for last 6 months without any issues.

Biorb maintains quality products but expensive.

Harp GalHarp Gal: 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...

EO: I love these fish tanks. I’ve had them for many years and always have 2 in my home at any 1 time but this most recent purchase has left me disappointed. It was not 100% level when I removed it from the box but I did not take too much notice of this. I’m not even sure if this fact is relevant to the noise I noticed when I set it up. I’ve tried everything. I’ve goggled everything it could possibly be but to no avail. It’s a constant vibration. Like the motor is under pressure. Can be heard in the next room and even can be slightly heard upstairs in the dead of night.
