Product Information
Full details
This grey Oase BiOrb Halo 60L Replacement Lid is designed for owners of the 60 Litre Halo LED tank who need to replace a damaged or non-functional lid. Its key benefit is the integrated MCR Lighting system, offering customizable light colours via a separate remote, and its DC power capability for modern BiOrb setups. A crucial caveat is that it *only* works with Oase BiOrb DC Transformers (Part 73114) and requires a separately purchased MCR Remote.

FAQs
Will this lid work with my older BiOrb AC transformer?
No, this is a DC lid and will ONLY work with the Oase BiOrb DC Transformer (Part 73114). It is not compatible with older AC transformers (Part 46038).
Do I need to buy a remote control for the lights?
Yes, all MCR Lids require a separate MCR Remote to control the lighting colours and functions. The remote is not supplied with the lid.
How do I install the replacement lid?
The lid is designed to fit directly onto the top of the relevant Halo tank. Simply remove the old lid and place the new one on. Connect the integrated cable to the correct DC transformer.
What size tank is this lid for?
This replacement lid is specifically designed for the 60 Litre BiOrb Halo LED tank.
What colour is this replacement lid?
This specific model is grey.
Can I upgrade my AC tank to DC using this lid?
Yes, if you purchase the correct DC Transformer (Part 73114) along with this DC lid, you can upgrade your setup from an older AC system.
What if my lights fail but the lid is not damaged?
This replacement lid is an ideal solution as it comes with a new MCR lighting system, allowing you to replace failed lights and gain customizable colour options.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not fit the tank
Verify that you have a BiOrb Halo 60L model. This lid is specific to that tank size and series.
Lights are not turning on
Confirm that the correct DC Transformer (Part 73114) is being used and is properly plugged in. Check that the lid's cable is securely connected to the transformer. Ensure the MCR Remote is paired correctly if you are trying to use lighting functions.
Light colours cannot be changed
Ensure you have a compatible MCR Remote (sold separately) and that it has been successfully paired with the lid. Check the remote's battery.
Transformer or cable feels hot
Immediately unplug the unit and allow it to cool down. Ensure the transformer is the correct DC model (Part 73114) and is not overloaded. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
