FAQs

What type of fish are best suited for the BiOrb LIFE 45L?

This aquarium is best suited for small, peaceful freshwater fish species that do not require a large swimming space. Examples include neon tetras, guppies, platies, endler's livebearers, and small schooling fish. A single betta fish can also be kept, provided the water is kept calm.

How often should I perform water changes?

For optimal health, perform a partial water change of 10-20% weekly or bi-weekly. The exact frequency depends on the fish stocking level and the efficiency of your biological filtration.

How do I clean the biological filter?

The biological filter media should only be rinsed gently in used tank water (water removed during a water change) to preserve the beneficial bacteria colonies. Avoid using tap water, as chlorine can kill these essential bacteria.

What is the lifespan of the LED lights?

The energy-efficient LED lighting system is rated for a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours, offering long-term illumination for your aquarium.

Can I use the remote control from a distance?

The remote control has a typical operating range for household use. Ensure there are no significant obstructions between the remote and the light receiver on the aquarium for best performance.

What is the weight of the aquarium when full?

When fully filled with water and decorations, the BiOrb LIFE 45L weighs approximately 50kg.

Does this aquarium come with a heater?

The standard BiOrb LIFE 45L package includes filtration and lighting. A separate aquarium heater may be required depending on your chosen fish species and the ambient room temperature. Please check the specific needs of your fish.

Troubleshooting

Aquarium water is cloudy

This can be due to a new tank cycle, overfeeding, or overstocking. Ensure the biological filter is running correctly and consider performing a partial water change. Reduce feeding if excessive.

Fish appear lethargic or stressed

Check water parameters (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH) using a test kit. Ensure the air pump is functioning correctly and the water is adequately aerated. Perform a partial water change if parameters are poor.

LED lights are not working

Check the power connection to the light unit and the remote control's battery. Ensure the remote is within range and try cycling through the colours and functions.

Filter is making unusual noise

Ensure the filter unit is properly seated and all connections are secure. Check the air pump and air stone for blockages or damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • All-in-one system simplifies setup and maintenance.
  • Integrated biological filtration creates a stable ecosystem.
  • Customizable multi-colour LED lighting adds aesthetic appeal.
  • Energy-efficient LED lights reduce running costs and heat.
  • Stylish design complements home decor.
  • Includes essential accessories like air pump and stone.

Cons

  • The top opening is relatively small (15.5cm x 15.5cm), which may limit access for aquascaping or larger tank maintenance.
  • While suitable for many small fish, the 45L volume may not be adequate for larger or more active species.
  • Reliance on a specific filtration system may limit customization options for advanced aquarists.
  • The white colour may show algae more readily than darker options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Place the aquarium on a stable, level surface capable of supporting its full weight (approximately 50kg when filled).
  2. Install the biological filter media as per the included instructions.
  3. Add substrate (gravel or sand) and decorations.
  4. Connect the air pump and air stone, routing the airline tubing.
  5. Fill the aquarium with dechlorinated water.
  6. Install the LED lighting system.
  7. Allow the filter to cycle (establish beneficial bacteria) for several weeks before adding fish.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for freshwater tropical fish.
  • Ideal for small, peaceful species such as neon tetras, guppies, danios, or a single betta fish.
  • Ensure any chosen decorations are aquarium-safe and do not obstruct water flow or filtration.
  • The air pump and filter are designed to work with this specific biOrb system.

Care:

  • Water Changes: Perform partial water changes (10-20%) weekly or bi-weekly, depending on stocking levels.
  • Filter Maintenance: Clean or replace filter cartridges according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The biological media should be rinsed gently in removed tank water to preserve beneficial bacteria.
  • Glass Cleaning: Use a soft cloth or aquarium-safe algae scraper for the interior and exterior glass. The curved light design helps minimize water marks on the light unit itself.
  • Lighting: Dust the LED unit periodically. Use the remote to change colours and brightness as desired.
