biOrb Classic 15 Acrylic 4-Gallon Aquarium with White LED Lights Modern Compact Tank for Tabletop or Desktop Display, Silver-Trimmed Tank

Super easy to put together. My fishes are very happy and more active. They actually go round and round. Kinda bummer that you have to buy operate decor tho. Pricy but very pretty. Worth the price.

I love this tank. I always get compliments on it. We’ve had it 2 years, going on 3. Literally everyone that has already seen it, comments on it every time they come over. We will catch ourselves staring at it for a long time lol. I have the 8 gallon and it’s pretty big, has its own sort of presence in the room. The price is kind of more than I originally wanted to pay, but I think it’s totally worth it. Cleaning it is not my favorite thing, but that goes with any tank. I wasn’t sure if it would hold up because it’s not glass, but it’s very sturdy. It’s heavy enough when it’s full, so I’m glad it’s not glass after all.

Meets every expectation! Most beautiful aquarium I've ever owned! NOTE - I have 20+ years experience keeping fish. But after reading so many negative comments (most of which are on the silver MCR-light version), just to make sure, I talked with my local fish store equipment experts to make sure the little guys in my current tank would transition ok to this new tank, before I even bought it. Here's my advice: Regardless, buy the air stream cap!! It's only $2, & it will make sure nobody gets stuck in that tube! (See newer pic with assassin snail). -If this is a brand new aquarium for you, I would set it up according to the instructions. *Yes the air pump will be loud if it's right next to the surface the tank is on, as it vibrates. I recommend putting the BiOrb on a cabinet/stand with a drawer/shelf inside that you can put the air pump in (with a hole in the back for the tube to connect through). *Keep in mind most tropical fish need a heater (yes the tank lid has space for its chord), so I would buy one. If you don't want to buy any decor not sold by BiOrb (like live plants & wood), you'll need to start slowly with your fish. I would add any bottom feeders (shrimp, snails, ottos) on the 1st day that you can add fish, & NOTHING else. (BiOrb DOES NOT recommend corys with their pebbles just FYI.) Wait another 2-3 more days, then add your other fish. Stay away from micro breeds & any digging breeds (again due to their pebbles) and don't overload the tank. The general rule is 1 inch of fish = 1 gallon of water. This model is an 8-gal tank, so no more than 8 fish total. Again, talking with your fish store expert will help. If everyone's happy in 8 months, you can be more flexible with this. -If you are transitioning fish from an old tank to this one, this will work great. Don't use the fake pebbles that come with the tank if you're fish are smaller than 2". These pebbles are large & oddly shaped (& this is why small fish get stuck in the filter). Use standard, large aquarium gravel, or river rocks as I have here. The goal is to cover the filter enough that no one will get caught inside, but there will still be flow. Sand is a no-no as it will get stuck in the filter. If you use substrate, you'll want to use it in combination with something else, & position it away from the filter. You might need a bottom feeder fish if you don't have any, &/or don't want to clean the tank with a gravel vac as the filter will work slightly slower with smaller gravel just FYI. As my picture shows, I've already moved all my rocks, wood & live plants to the new tank right away. I recommend this (your fish will be fine without decor for the 3-day period the BiOrb needs lol). This will establish the healthy biome faster, & prevent ammonia spikes when the fish are moved over. If you have a planted aquarium, I would move some, but not all, of that so neither tank's biome gets messed up. Also, I'm not using the water bio booster (that comes with) because I have live stuff already in the tank, again to prevent ammonia spikes. And I have my own water conditioner my fish like, so I'm also not using the one that comes with it. Hope this calms some nerves! This really is a beautiful aquarium, my fish will love it!! ------- Update 2/23: Still love, love, love this aquarium! It took a few months to get the ideal balance between fish, decor placement, & cleaning (this is an 8 gallon, my previous tank size for over a decade was 5 & a completely different shape/setup)... But I expected that. Currently it has: Cardinals, a couple danios & platies, a licorice gourami, that snail, & two amano shrimp (one of which is preggers, so yeah everyone is pretty happy lol).

Kills fish. 2 times fish just disappear. Filter too strong. Gets extremely dirty and full of algae very fast. Not my first tank, but my first and last biOrb. Very pretty but a waste of money.

Have had aquariums for decades and finally decided I was done with them about ten years ago. Got this for Christmas and was happy. It’s an amazing piece. The round shape is different and attracts a lot of attention. The bubbler and heater are very quite and my fish (Frankenstein, because he’s alive after shipping from CA) is healthy and happy.

So soft and warm but not to warm

Fun little acrylic fish tank. The bowl type shale makes it really unique to look at and throws off the perspective of what's inside. A little too small for most fish, but some small shrimp or maybe even micro crabs would do wonderful in here. I have mine planted with aquasoil and some easy to grow plants. The LED light is plenty for basic plants. The filter also works well, but be warned it's on the same outlet as the light, so you can't use a timer without having the filter go off at night. This is actually how I have mine set up as I don't have any fish/critters in the tank right now. I'd definitely recommend getting it while on sale, because the price is a little steep at full price

I think this aquarium is too expensive for the quality of the design, material, and air pump... I wasn't very happy when it first arrived because it started leaking from the bottom. It turned out that the sealing paste wasn't placed correcltly and left some space for the filter system to not seal well in the bottom (first picture shows the sealing paste at the bottom of the filter system). We removed the sealing paste completely and it finally stopped leaking. It has been 3 or 4 weeks since I put the aquarium to work and I still check for leaks just in case. I am afraid it will start leaking sometime in the future again. It's definitely a beautiful aquarium and that's why I kept it. I like the fact that the filtration system is at the bottom and I like it's round shape. Be aware that the material gets easily scratched. The ceramic material for filtration has scratched the bottom even though I placed it carefully. Also, the air pump was very laud the first day or two, then it got quieter but you can still hear it. I got this 4 gallon aquarium for my betta fish and he loves it. He stays very active and curious. He loves to swim around in circles, and the air pressure doesn't seem to bother him at all. He even tried to cross the bubbles and likes to look at them. Given to the shape of the aquarium, it creates some blinds spots, but that doesn't really bother me as I can still see my fish moving around, and I think that the shape of this aquarium enhances the view of whatever you have in there. Overall, my only concern thus far is the aquarium leaking again, but I am satisfied to see that my fish is healthy and happy and the filtration system seems to work well.

It’s nice and easy to put together but there’s no remote ???

Very big but wonderful for the fish. Top notch.

Très bon rapport qualité prix

Bellissimo da vedere

A prima vista bellissimo, a parte il colore inviato errato, nero anziché argento, speriamo duri nel tempo. Soddisfatta anche dal fatto che Amazon mi ha applicato uno sconto per la consegna del colore errato
