biOrb Air 30 Terrarium, Perfect Beginner Terrarium, 30 Litres (Grey) | With Integrated LED Lights To Encourage Natural Growth, Quick & Easy To Set Up, Fully Automated With 360-Degree View, Acrylic

Finally be able to get this set up and running. It’s amazing and so easy to do. I have found the fan to be extremely quiet. The lights are very bright and make the plants look stunning. Don’t think I will ever get bored of the misting option, it’s great to watch. Yes it’s expensive but unique and I think it’s definitely worth the money.

What can i say about the biorb. absolutely love it. simple to set up and use, I have had this 8 months now Only certain plants are suitable for it as there is an auto mister in there is set up to be 75% humidity in the enviroment i have bonsais orchids and plenty others, no cacti as they rot. WATERING - you put water in the mister on top and you also pour water in the biorb itself. - In the mister you have to use water purchased from Biorb, In the bowl i use tap or deionized water for cars as i have had venus fly traps. The soil remains damp and is self watering via a capillary mat you can put enough water in there to last about a month.. probably more. Lighting - there is an automatic lighting system 12 hours on 12 hours off. The only downside is the lack of suitable plants available from garden centers to grown in there. Biorb used to sell a great little range of plants but they stopped that. Not all people in the garden centers know what plants are good for this but the criteria is SLOW GROWING plants which are small and can take the HUMIDITY. You need to replace the carbon air filter every 3 months according to the manual.however in another part of the Biorb website it says 6 months. Having opened up the filter they are just using activated carbon sponges. would be easy enough to cut some up to shape yourself and save on the filter. I have had the current filter in there for over 6 months. and there still isnt an issue with it. i think once you notice the garden smell coming out its time to replace the sponge/filter The Fan is not silent... When i called Reef one orginally they siad it awas as loud as a car heat on the lowest setting.. or a pc fan... It certainly isnt.. its about as loud as an aquarium tank fan. Not silent.. and doesnt disturb me, but its in the living room and we have a fish tank. I hope the next Biorb has some good upgrades. Lights .. timer patters... Easy pour in water access..

Looks better on YouTube in person looks cheaply made not worth the money going back

I loved the easy set up, I had researched the plants I wanted and had found many set up ideas online. I added worm casts to the coir substrate for fertilisation and bought a biorb rock structure as the centre piece, then added the plants. The lighting cycle is sufficient for my choice of plants, so no problems there! Adding the water was a little fiddly at first, as I used a 1 ltr jug which just fitted through the top. I will use a funnel in future to avoid splashing mud and water onto the plastic. The price was a little off putting, but they are the only one of this kind on the market at the moment so no competition. All in all I’m pleased with this purchase, and look forward to redesigning it in the future.

Do not buy. I’ve been trying to get hold of oase uk since getting this as the mister stays on and the fan clicks all the time. They will not get back to me. I spent so much on it so I have it planted up without the mister plugged in. This means the lights pulse a lot of the time. I just have to put up with the clicking. Looks great but its a piece of crap and I urge everyone to stay away. Had a friend buy one around the same time as I did and he also has clicking sounds from the fan. Terrible product and even worst customer service from oase uk

Beautiful when planted but the fan is really too loud in a quiet room. Easy to take care of once you get used to the size of the hole you work through. Reef One could be more proactive in their communications when you order consumables (misting spray etc) but are really helpful.

Looks lovely

Meine Fleischfressende Pflanzen haben jetzt endlich das perfekte Zuhause !! Die Lüftung läuft leise und der Timer fuer den täglichen Sonnenschein läuft einwandfrei

Ottimo

Das Teil ist wirklich schön, leider hatte ich Pech mit dem Vernebler. Bepflanzen und ist leicht möglich und wenn es dann eingerichtet ist, muß man eigentlich nicht viel tun. Die Fernbedienung ist eher ein Gadget, da im laufenden Betrieb nicht notwendig. Ich habe mein Biorb Air 30 erhalten und schon nach 2 Wochen hat der Vernebler versagt. Nach einer Reparatur war mal für 3 Wochen alles gut nur leider war dann wie der der Teil defekt. Großes Lob an OASE für den Kundendienst, die mir nun statt einer erneuten Reparatur ein neues Teil schickt.

I've been obsessed with the Biorb aquariums for awhile, but what pushed me to actually purchase a Biorb product was this terrarium. I'd been planning a similar idea I was going to build myself, but this already does everything I was planning and saved me so much time plus is easy to use with a singular remote. Is it worth $300+ based on mechanics alone? Honestly, probably not, but the ease of use and thought put into the design are worth every penny with setup taking maybe 5 minutes max starting with opening the box (not counting planting). It's virtually silent while running which is great since it's on my work desk. I'm still waiting on the rest of my plants to arrive, but the main star of the show is definitely already shining.

I love the idea of ecospheres, and when I learned about the biorb it has been a game changer for keeping different kinds of plants, and insects. the only downfall is maintenance can be tedious but its much easier compared to having build a system from scratch. I just wish the clear plastic like structure was glass
