BiOrb Aquarium Tanks

- In feng shui, clean, flowing, well-lit water with fish is the ultimate way of transforming bad energy and round objects help chi (the energy force that flows throughout the Universe) to curve around rooms and buildings.
- A fish bowl on the left hand side of your front door encourages good ‘chi’.
- The chinese word for fish AND success is “yu”.
- It’s believed that by placing fish in the home or office brings good fortune
- Three fish symbolise “yang” energy. The best combination is two goldfish (representing good luck and energy) and one black fish (representing protection)
- Goldfish (or ‘baby dragons’) in feng shui are considered very lucky.
With the five-stage filtration system, bubbling water and low-voltage light, Biorb is considered by some to be perfect for good Feng Shui. Another tip to activate your career is to have fish in a BiOrb aquarium with a blue or black base and lid. And if you position a biOrb in the east part of your living room/dining room/office with a green lid and base it boosts energies of health and ambition.
So what is Biorb?
Biorb is the brainchild of Reef One, pioneers of aquarium products since 1998. The original BiOrb was designed back in ‘98. The two main collections today are Biorb Classic and Biorb Life.
Biorb Aquariums are very chic and wouldn’t look out of place in a lush city centre apartment or office environment. Their simple yet stunning ranges include ‘retro’ squares to traditional ‘fish bowl’ designs.
New editions are in development continuously but currect collections that you can buy today.
Biorb Life Tank - The Biorb Life collection is a set of really funky retro aquariums. You can choose between large or small portrait (rectangular) or a box/square design. These are an interesting fish bowl design and would certainly attract comments from visitors. So if you like it when people admire and talk about your taste in decor, the Biorb Life is the choice for you.
BiUbe Pure - The BiUbe Pure aquarium is constructed with crystal clear acrylic which really emphasises the colours inside. The advanced LED lighting gives the appearance that water is suspended in mid-air. Like all the Biorb aquariums, Pure is a ‘plug and go aquarium and is supplied with:
BiOrb 30 & BiOrb 60 - The original classic BiOrb designs are a popular favourite probably the most popular because of their classic ‘fish bowl’ shape. Remember the BiOrbs are complete aquariums and delivered ready to plug in. Nothing else needed, apart from the fish naturally…and don’t forget to add water!
The Biorb 60 Aquarium is a mammoth sized classic Orb shaped aquarium compared to the BiOrb 30 aquarium which measures 42 cm high and 40cm wide. It is so called because it weighs 60 kilos and holds 60L (16 US Gallons) of water. This is the BiOrb design for you if you have a larger space which would drown the smaller ranges! While it’s a complete aquarium kit, further options include a halogen light, heater and 24hour LED and you can convert it to a Marine aquarium with the marine conversion kit.
Biorb Biube - The BiUbe is another classy looking fish tank that would be perfect for the small home office. You can change the base and lid colour and it is so simple to maintain just like the other models. It has a capacity for 35 litres of water and is ideal for both tropical or coldwater fish
SpyOrb - This aquarium is relatively new and the design speaks for itself as it resembles an underwater spy hole on a ship. It can be used to hold freshwater fish or it can be converted to a Saltwater (Marine) aquarium if you prefer the more exotic aquatic life.
The Biorb Spyorb comes in white, black or silver
Baby BiOrb - The Baby Biorb’s are the cutest and smallest of the Biorb Classic aquariums. I can see these looking simply elegant as a coffee table centre piece or a finishing touch on a hallway stand. The standard black or silver base and top colour options blend in perfectly with modern home designs. An option for Baby Biorb is ‘Baby Biorb Moonlight’ which is an automatic switch activated when evening comes and the room goes dark. Baby biOrb Moonlight automatically switches from daylight to the soothing blue glow of moonlight. How lovely?
Kids Biorb Aquariums - With the colourful lid and base options the Baby BiOrb is just PERFECT for a child’s bedroom. Choose from baby pink for your princess, baby blue for your little prince. There is a tangy yellow which is great for a neutral child’s theme and for little boys who like slugs, snails and puppy dog’s tails there is the glow in the dark green!
BiOrb Lighting - Use the LED light unit. It creates 24 hr lighting effect of sunrise, daylight, sunset and moonlight. The unit which can last 50,000 hours is nicely concealed in the aquarium lid. Set up is simple, like anything Biorb; you just plug it in. The LED unit apparently reduces the stress on the fish because the light cycles would occur in their natural habitat. You can choose from 7 cycles which can be left to change automatically or you can change it manually (just push a button). the LED unit gives an added ‘mood lighting’ affect although the Biorb is aesthetically appealing as an aquarium by itself.
