Just when you thought choosing the correct fish for your aquarium was a difficult decision you then also need to choose what to get to decorate your biOrb! Argh!

Arguably, one of the most straightforward ways to decorate is to simply purchase one of the biOrb Decor Sets. The work is already done for you! The box sets contain all you need to decorate a new aquarium and are available in a range of themes and tank sizes. Ensure you match the set with the size of your aquarium to ensure that everything is included and is of the right size and scale.

Thank you, you've inspired me to buy the exact same one, with all the bits- hope plaigerism is okay :)

[pjuk]

I've never understood why they just don't make the access holes slightly bigger, especially on the Life60! Could easily have a bigger insert to rest light into in the middle and be so much easier to maintain.

[cassywoodard]

I really enjoy watching your videos and very much enjoy seeing the tanks you put together because they are so beautiful. I really love the color scheme you chose for this tank I can't believe how utterly beautiful it is. I'd love to say I would choose the same exact pieces but I don't think I could afford that much decor for mine or actually I just won't pay some of biorbs high prices for their decor. Yes there decor is elegant and very fitting for their tanks, but it also is just a tad pricey for my taste. I think I would go with one of the kits..but I definitely will get that anchor cause it just jumps out in that white tank it is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing and explaining what you do it helps me to feel more confident about setting up my own tank.

Beautiful.
Think l will perchance some topiary balls for my aquarium.
They give a nice soft appearance.

[PeanutTheBoySquirrel]

Wow, these are great tips! I love the information you provide in your videos. This is very useful for people who want to decorate their biOrbs. Thank you so much for sharing this! I love how you set up yours.

[markkenny]

Thanks Mark. Brilliant video as always 👏

[robertS-angler]

@step-by-step just want to say thank you so much mark for all your research and hard work on your videos, I followed all your instructions from the api testing kit, to colony cycling the tank and what fish suits my tap.

I wish I could send you a picture of my results after 1 successful week of cycling and adding my fish. I'd say they look very happy to me :) keep doing what your doing. Your the best!!

Looks amazing! I don't have a centre piece in my tank (60l cube) but I think it needs one now! Thanks for the video.

Hi Mark. I have Biorb Halo 60 litre tank and planning to switch the standard media for the Pearl version. Biorb recommend 3 packs (3kg). Is there any harm in using up to 4kg? (for aesthetic reasons). Or do you think the additional media could interfere with the filter system? (For example, by stopping the water circulating properly through the media and/or filter.) I have upgraded to a more powerful Tetra pump, which could be adjusted if I notice the air bubbles have decreased. Kind regards, Sean

[mimi]

Nice set up, looks beautiful! I was sad to see that Biorb doesn’t offer the pearl media in the US. We’re setting up my daughter’s first Biorb tank, so will resort to the ceramic media it came with. Love your videos, very educational. Earned a new subscriber 😊

Beautiful biOrb Aquarium . Thanks for your useful tips. New sub here.

[SjefVanOekelDraaftDoor]

Hello Mark. I hope you're doing well.
I have a few questions but I don't know under which video I can write them. So I'll try just here.
1) I've noticed some small scratches on the inside of the "glass", probably from the stones or it happened while cleaning. I've tried to remove them with the biOrb cleaning pads but that didn't help. Do you have a suggestion how to get rid of these scratches?
2) On some of the biOrb sculptures, like the Stackable Rock Sculpture, the paint is peeling of after a few weeks in the water. Under the paint the material (plastic) gets visible and the that really detracts from the sculpture. The shop where I purchased them say that the paint is not harmful for the fish and the owner send some new ones. But these new sculptures have the same issues. Do you know about this problem and do you have an advice?
3) What is best for the health of the fish: the soft blue light at night or the light just off so it's dark in the aquarium?
Thank you for your support and all the best.
Roel

Looks beautiful, with the decorations in looks very similar to the 35ltube on camera. I love the plate corals set, let me know how they hold up, I have the white sea urchins set and the white flakes off after a while. Look forward to seeing your fish in there.

[goncalosantos]

Hello Mark, the loop model is very beatiful! About the decoration i liked but i’m changing my mind, and i’m introducing real plants on my Life 30. I have only the central grey rock decor and a small plastic Biorb plant. I hope Biorb will produce a 45 version of Loop, and probably i will buy it. 😅

[BrianReece-vc]

Just got a biorb classic 60l. I will definitely be using your videos to help me setup. The only question I have is about the biorb artificial plants, do you just drop them (gently of course) into the tank, are the balls heavy enough to stop them floating about, or do they need to be buried….any help will be gratefully received as I can not find an answer

[paulamackie]

It looks amazing. Any idea what fish you will put in it?. Lovely to see the 3 tanks together. Thanks again

[cmua]

I love the biorb contemporary designs, but it looks rather tricky to get fish out of them ?

[Justiinexxx]

I received a biOrb aquarium for Christmas and I’ve been binge watching your videos since! Thank you so much, they are really helpful. My biOrb Life has been cycling for a few days now, and I can’t wait to add fish to it and make great use of all your tips.

[paulamackie]

Hi again. I've only gone an got myself a loop 30l. This biorb business is addictive. Just wondered how long you waited before transferring your fish from the flow to the new set up? I'm doing the same

[victoriaelizabeth]

Beautiful tank. I’m glad you got a break from me keep asking you questions and you had time to post this! 🤣 any idea how the moss balls hold up with algae? Are they easy to clean.
