Marine Biorb

[mark1]

Hi,
Just wondering if any one has had any success with a marine biorb? Tried it but discovered that gas exchange was insufficent to succesfully keep marines, especially when its in your bedroom and that noisy air pump is ticking away

Cheers mate gud read that,
Any way didn really have the pateince with the biorb so invested in a 24g nano, its been set up for about a month now used the live sand and live rock from the biorb which was originally in and added alot extra live rock from STM (the ultra grade figi, good stuff!). Originally in the biord I intergrated a Eheim eco filter and transfered that also heres a bit of a pic of my new set up

IMO the Bio-orb owners got off lightly, that is about the usuall kind of repsonces I have seen on loads of other forums when members ask about using Bio-Orbs, Saying that most see that using one would be wrong unlike that 2

Just shows that some people dont give a toss about there livestock

Bloody Bio-Orbs - horrible things - If you wanna have a Marine Tank do it right not some small bowl that is no where near suitable for a snail nevermind any fish

mmmmmmmm while i totally agree about using an biorb as a marine set up i have a tropical 60 litre set up which works fine and because of the constaints of the size of my property fits well and lets me have room for my 30 gal marine

biorbs are great if you use them what they're made for which is as agreed not a marine set up
