Replacements filters – High quality activated carbon replacement filters help to improve the quality of the aquarium’s water. If your biOrb or any of its components have come to the end of their natural life, we at biOrb are committed to helping you dispose of them responsibly.

We say this because harmful chemicals such as ammonia are metabolised into a less harmful substance such as nitrate, which actually feed algae. The biological filtration remains inside the aquarium at all times ensuring the beneficial bacteria are not killed during maintenance. A carbon ring in included with this kit to replace the loose carbon minerals that come in the original service kit.You are purchasing a pack of 5 high quality Compatible Air Stones suitable for use with all biorb and biube aquariums. It is essential to replace your air stones regularly, such as when showing signs of discolouration or a reduction in bubble rate. Immediate cloudiness can be a result of insufficient cleaning of the ceramic media; if so it will eventually settle out.

Choose a set of chemicals to do a job and stick with them; do not mix additives from different companies to do the same job as they may react adversely together. The biorb looks more like a proper tank with gravel now and after six months my levels are constantly perfect.Turns out worst thing I did was introducing moss balls; spawned everywhere and continuously blocked the filter and media. In a mature aquarium bacteria will consume most of the toxins but it takes around 28 days (with fish in the aquarium) to start the maturing process. If you add finer material like gravel, you may find it becomes blocked, preventing the filter from working effectively.

This is normal for all aquariums, air stones simply become blocked over time by calcification, especially in hard water areas. These are outside parameters such as light and heat and inside parameters such as high nitrate/phosphate levels.Simply take apart your current biOrb filter unit and empty the contents whilst retaining the plastic container. The bacteria activates the biological filtration within your aquarium, providing clear, healthy water.
