FAQs
How often should I use a biOrb Service Kit?
The biOrb Service Kit is designed for routine maintenance every 4-6 weeks to keep your aquarium healthy and clear.
What is the purpose of the biological booster?
The biological booster contains beneficial bacteria that help to establish and maintain the biological filtration in your biOrb after a filter change, ensuring water quality.
Can I use these parts in a different brand of aquarium filter?
No, this kit is specifically designed for biOrb aquariums and their unique filtration system. The components are not interchangeable with other brands.
How many maintenance cycles does one 6-pack provide?
A 6-pack provides enough service kits for approximately six maintenance cycles, assuming one kit is used every 4-6 weeks.
Do I need to replace the air stones every time?
It is recommended to replace the air stones during your routine maintenance, especially if they appear worn or clogged, to ensure optimal aeration.
What does the water conditioner do?
The all-natural, non-toxic water conditioner removes chlorine and chloramines from tap water, making it safe for your fish and aquatic life.
Troubleshooting
Aquarium water remains cloudy after maintenance.
Ensure the new filter cartridge is correctly seated. Allow 24-48 hours for the water to clear naturally. Check that the biological booster was added correctly.
Filter flow seems weak.
Confirm the filter cartridge is not blocked. Check the air stones for clogs or wear, as they also contribute to water circulation. Ensure the airline tubing is not kinked.
New filter cartridge does not fit.
Verify you have the correct biOrb filter cartridge for your specific biOrb model. Ensure no packaging is obstructing the fitting.
Excessive algae growth persists.
While the kit aids maintenance, persistent algae may require adjusting feeding habits, reducing lighting duration, or manual removal with the cleaning pad.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This service kit is exclusively designed for use with biOrb aquariums and their specific 5-stage filtration system. Ensure your biOrb model is compatible before purchasing.

- Power Down: Always disconnect the power to your biOrb before performing maintenance.
- Replace Filter Cartridge: Gently twist the old filter cartridge to unlock and remove it. Insert the new cartridge, ensuring it clicks into place.

Care: Store unused service kits in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Used filter cartridges and cleaning pads should be disposed of responsibly. The air stones should be replaced periodically as they wear out.
