a slight improvement but what a price!

Interesting design, but tank looks overstocked like all other advertisements for tanks... Not worth the price when you're getting so few gallons IMO, but I can understand why some would buy that. Not sure about how effective the filtration would be so that's another minus point, don't wanna pay for a filter that I'm just going to chuck after a while...

Ahhhh, thats the new 1 I have been hearing about.

I know Some shops that are Going to Market it as a Betta Tank.

 

[Yenko]

That would make one hell of a betta tank, but they won't like the water movement. Anyway, who would put a $3 fish in a 200 dollar tank?

I like the new shape but I doubt I'd ever pay that much for a tank that's less than 10 gallons. Could work for a few honey gouramies though

I thought the Betta tank was going to be the 15 litre Biorb without filtration?

These tanks are not for serious fishkeepers, they are just furniture. However they are selling well.

 

[Yenko]

I agree, those are barely tanks, just furniture. Attractive, but I prefer my el-cheapo aquariums to their little toys.

 

[Dwarfs]

Looks like an overpriced deathtrap (for fish) to me

i think all those biorb/biube things are P.O.S

Yes there are Going to Be Some Specific Betta BIO-ORB's But they have not released any Material on them asyet.

They were on display @ the GLEE 2004 show @ the NEC but missed out on Going.

It's far too expensive for a 35 litre tank. No doubt people who can't belieeve people really wear non-designer clothes will buy it for their spoiled kids to kill , I mean, keep goldfish in. Or the tropical version to torture, I mean treat a clownfish, just like Nemo.

 

[Alurny]

48x18x18 wharf custom for the price of that!

 

[SirMinion]

A hundred and thirty quid for a 35 litre bucket?

You'd be a mug to even consider it!

We just paid £55 for a 90 litre tank including a stand!

Perhaps I'm stupid, but what is "5-stage filtration"?

Ammonia -> Nitrite -> Nitrate -> ? -> ?

Mechanical -> Biological -> Chemical -> ? -> ?

 

[sylvia]

I've been wandering about the 5-stage filtration thing too. I can't seem to remember what it was but it's more like sponge -> carbon -> floss -> whatever -> whatever
