Product Information
Full details
The biOrb Halo Aquarium is designed for both beginners and experienced aquarists looking for a visually striking, low-maintenance centerpiece for their home or office. Its defining benefit is the seamless 360-degree viewing experience enabled by a hidden waterline design and durable acrylic construction, though potential buyers should note that its specialized shape can slightly limit the range of aquatic decor and equipment add-ons compatible with traditional rectangular tanks.

FAQs
Is the biOrb Halo 30L suitable for saltwater fish?
While it can be used for saltwater, it is primarily optimized for freshwater setups. Consult a local expert regarding the specific needs of marine livestock in a 30L volume.
How often should I change the filter cartridge?
It is recommended to replace the filter cartridge every 4 to 6 weeks depending on the bioload of your fish.
Can I use standard glass cleaning tools?
No. Avoid standard glass scrapers as they will scratch the acrylic surface. Always use cleaning pads specifically labeled for acrylic.
What is the maximum number of fish I should keep?
This depends on the fish species, but generally, limit your stock to a few small, nano-type fish to keep the ecosystem balanced.
Is the LED lighting adjustable?
The lighting provides a consistent, high-quality output designed to support the tank environment, though specific functionality may vary based on the model iteration.
Troubleshooting
Cloudy water shortly after setup
This is often part of the 'new tank syndrome' as beneficial bacteria establish. Ensure you used a water conditioner and avoid overfeeding.
Excessive algae growth
Move the aquarium away from direct sunlight and reduce the number of hours the LED lights are active per day.
Bubbles are not flowing from the filter
Check the air pump connection and ensure the air stone is not clogged with debris; replace the air stone if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the biOrb Halo is a simple process: position the tank, rinse the provided ceramic media, install the filter cartridge, and fill with treated water. Use only non-abrasive cleaning tools, such as soft microfiber cloths or acrylic-safe sponges, to prevent scratches. When choosing decor, opt for biOrb-compatible ornaments that fit the footprint of the circular base. Always use a dedicated aquarium water conditioner to remove chlorine from tap water before adding it to the tank.
