biOrb Accessories

A full range of accessories to enhance your biOrb aquarium.

Air Stones

 

Keep your bubbles bubbling!

 

The air stone at the base of the aquarium breaks the flow of air into a mass of bubbles.

 

After a while, this can be become blocked by calcification, especially in hard water areas, reducing the flow of air into the aquarium.

 

Replacing the air stone every few months keeps your aquarium bubbling away nicely.

 

The pack has two air stones.

 

 

 

 


Air Pump

The low voltage, safe air pump provides the bubble supply that powers the filter system and assists with oxygen diffusion in the aquarium. It is essential the air pump is left running permanently.

Reef One biUbe and biOrb aquariums incorporate two one-way valves to prevent water draining back down the air line; however, it is safer to place the air pump above the level of the aquarium water line.

The air pump is designed to run as silently as possible but due to its pumping action internal vibration will be transmitted as noise if the air pump body touches surrounding objects.

As the air pump is essential to maintain water quality and runs continuously 24 hours a day, it is advisable to keep a spare in the event of failure. Air pumps are available in 12Volt 50 Hz and 12 volt 60 Hz versions.

 


Cleaning Pads

 

Use the special cleaning cloths to remove algae effectively without scratching the aquarium.

 

Available in packs of three, these special cleaning cloths have a smooth side for regular cleaning and a rough side for really tough algae marks. The rough side can also be used to remove lime scale build up from the base of the light unit.

 

Cleaning pads should only be used on the inside of the aquarium. We do not recommend using other algae pads on the biOrb as these may scratch the acrylic.

 

 


Magnetic Algae Cleaner

Our new patented biOrb Algae Cleaner is set to revolutionize aquarium cleaning. It provides better cleaning results as its unique blade design removes algae in sheets rather than in a cloud allowing easier removal. It is tough enough to remove the most stubborn algae, even coralline algae.

 

It is easy to use and less damaging - the hi-tech polymer blades clean without scratching and prevent grit getting stuck in cleaning surfaces. If the magnetic coupling is released it floats!

 

Simply dust the outer surface with a soft cloth to remove any grit and then move the outer section of the cleaner. The internal section will follow cleaning algae off the inside of the aquarium - no more wet hands!

 

One product fits all - unlike traditional cleaners, this bladed design works equally well on flat sided or spherical aquariums made of plastic and glass. It is suitable for any small aquarium, not just biOrbs.

This filter cartridge treats most common fish diseases including:

  • White Spot Fin rot
  • Common fungal and bacterial infections
  • Most external parasitic infections
  • Stress reducer
  • Aids wound healing

Does not contain antibiotics

 

Instructions provided with the kit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Heater Pack - 50W

 

Want to go tropical? This heater pack is designed specifically for use with biOrb. The acrylic heater stand is designed to allow the 50 watt heater to be fitted securely inside the biOrb aquarium.

 

A snap out section in the light unit keeps the lead from the heater tidy.

Includes: 50 watt heater, thermometer and heater stand.

 

Compatible with biOrb 30, biOrb 60 and biUbe!

 

 


No Algae Filter Cartridge

biOrb Service Kit

 

The filter cartridge works like a waste bin, trapping the dirt. Once full, it should be thrown away and replaced with a new one. This should be done every 1-2 months depending on the size of the aquarium and the number of fish kept.

 

A natural substrate in the cartridge polishes the water and removes impurities helping to keep the water clear between changes. It has an active life of 8 weeks.

 

Supplied in packs containing - 1 new filter cartridge, 1 cleaning pad and 1 water treatment sachet. Simply unclip the old cartridge and fit a new one every 4-8 weeks - just like taking out the household rubbish.

 

Service Kit eliminates the need to cut filter foam, deal with messy carbon and measure out doses of water treatment - simple.

 

 

 

 


Halogen Light Unit, 12V

 

The specially designed low voltage halogen light unit illuminates the biOrb and its inhabitants making it into even more of a feature.

 

Designed as a easy-to-fit accessory, the light unit doesn’t impose on the biOrb’s attractive shape and incorporates a hole for easy fish feeding.

 

The white light simulates daylight, which assists with plant growth and brings out the true colours of the fish. With the anti-glare shield removed, the biOrb is transformed into a living table lamp. Bulb included.

 

Compatible with biOrb 30, biOrb 60 and biUbe.

 

 


The Intelligent LED Lighting System

 

Cycles through sunrise, daylight, sunset and moonlight  settings at the push of a button. In total, there are seven different cycles to choose from.

 

Automatic 24 hour timer - just plug the light in and it cycles at the same time everyday.

No need to change a bulb - lasts 50,000 hours using long life, low energy cost saving LED's.

It is concealed in the aquarium lid and is only 18 mm thick. Offers very safe 12 Volt operation and is a simple and quick replacement for the existing halogen light unit.

Compatible with biOrb 30, biOrb 60 and biUbe.

 

LED light cycle

 

 

 

Halogen Light Bulb

 

We recommend leaving the light on for 6-7 hours a day.

 

The 10 watt bulb in the Halogen light unit should last for around 1200 hours but will eventually wear out and need replacing.

 

The biOrb bulb must be replaced with the correct Reef One 10 watt 12 volt bulb. Larger bulbs may kill the transformer and could have an adverse effect on the biOrb and its light unit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Volcano Uplift Cone

 

A decoration to enhance your biOrb's appeal by concealing the bubble tube and filter sponge.

 

Supplied with pre-fitted assorted plants (plants may vary)

 

Fits easily over the bubble tube but viewing slot still enables sight of cartridge contamination.

 

Volcano is available in two different sizes to suit biOrb 30 Litre, 60 Litre & biUbe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Samuel Baker Collection

The Samuel Baker Collection is the new and unique range of Aquarium Sculptures designed exclusively for Reef One. Four different designs are now available with more sizes, colours and styles to follow.

The Sculptures are the work of award-winning artist, Samuel Baker, and can be used to create a stunning feature in your biOrb with no effort at all. They are equally suitable for all aquariums, not just biOrb.

Coral

This beautiful coral-style aquarium sculpture will look great inside any freshwater or marine aquarium.











 

Pebble

This highly original and stylish black pebble aquarium sculpture will make a stunning feature inside any biOrb.












 

Clamshell

The highly detailed Clamshell sculpture adds a huge amount of interest to any biOrb. All aquarium sculptures can be placed in freshwater or saltwater aquariums.












 


Aquarium Stand

If you don't have a suitable surface on which to place your aquarium, buy an attractive, sturdy display stand which is available in three water resistant finishes of beech, black and silver.

 

They come flat packed for easy home assembly, can be placed on hard floors or carpet and are strong enough to support the complete range of Reef One aquariums.

 

Available in a range of wood finishes and colours.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ceramic Media

 

 

Extra ceramic media can be added to the biOrb to improve biological filtration.

 

The ceramic media should not need to be replaced, but if you wish to change it you should do so gradually, in stages, and not all at once.

 

Changing the media gradually allows the existing filter bacteria to move across and colonise the new media from the old.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Swap Tops for biOrb 30 and 60

 

Swap tops consist of replaceable lids and bases so that you can change the look of your biOrb whenever you want.

 

These sets are available in eight different colours.

 

 

 

 

 

Transformer

 

Safety is vital when operating electrical items in close proximity to water. All aquariums need electrical power for their lighting and filtration systems and most use mains electricity at 240 volts. This can cause serious electric shock should the aquarist drop or drench the electrical items in the aquarium water.

 

The Reef One range of aquariums is designed to be extremely safe and all its electrical items operate at the safe low level of 12-volts. To protect the aquarist and children from electric shock, Reef One aquariums use a plug top AC transformer that plugs into your electrical mains socket and ‘steps down' the mains voltage to a much safer voltage. The 12 volts is made available in the bottom of the AC transformer through two din sockets (see image). Either socket can be used for the halogen light wire plug or the air pump wire plug as both sockets are interchangeable.

 

The LED light if used in place of the halogen light can be plugged into either socket.

Special Note: The AC transformer incorporates a non replaceable safety fuse that will blow, permanently damaging the AC transformer, if a higher watt halogen bulb is used. When replacing your halogen bulb always use the official 10 watt Reef One product. Other bulbs may damage your light unit and transformer.

 

 

Feng Shui Pebbles

 

Feng Shui means 'Wind and Water' and is the ancient Chinese art of placement where we can arrange our living and working space to create balance and harmonising different colours to invite beneficial energies into our home. Clean, flowing, well-lit water with fish is the ultimate way of transforming bad energy and Feng Shui pebbles are designed to decorate your aquarium as well as promote the flow of positive energy. They come in a range of solid marble colours which deepen and shine once placed in water. Marble is a hard stone which won't cloud the water. Available in the following colours: Red: for power, glory & happiness White: for spiritual and moral purity Green: promotes hope, longevity and vitality Black: to banish negative energy

 

Harness the power of Feng Shui and bring balance and harmony to your aquarium.

 

Once in water the colours deepen and add interest whilst helping to anchor the plants.

 

 

Siphon Cleaner Pump

 

 

 

The powerful cleaner pump sucks dirt and debris straight out of the base of your biOrb.

You don't have to suck the tube or fill it with water first - just squeeze the hand pump a few times and you're away.

 

 

 

Not only does the cleaner remove water but you can also use it to pump water back into your biOrb without making a mess.

 

 

 

 

 

Scratch Remover

 

 

 

These special pads are designed to clean the external surface of your biOrb or biUbe and gently remove slight surface scratches.
