My Biube

Thanks. Will do. Some Java fern looks nice and is recommended in the instructions. I think I am going for 2 moss balls either side of a java fern and cambomba to replace the 2 fake green plants at the sides. Thanks for all the advice.

alright, just remember not to make it look too symetrical
have you actually got the plants yet, if not when are you getting them+ can you please take a pic of your moss balls to show me as mine were not in a good state when i got them and they are know looking a lot better

This weekend. As for the picture I really don't know as a member resized it for me as I do not have the right editing software. I will let you know if I do post it though.

Dont have the right editing software if your really stuck just go on powerpoint or the like and and paste in your image, then just shrink it down like normal and right click save as pic then change it to JPEG and your done!!! Or if that doesnt work, (which it will!) then go into Microsoft Paint, it comes with EVERY windows system and simply click resize and then change to the size you want!

Problem solved

 

[Fishkeeper4567]

Thanks. I will look into doing that with the moss balls pic!

Hey just wondering where you found the buibe and why you bought it, I saw an advert in a magazine years ago for the biorb life and ever since wanted something like it

 

[Fishkeeper4567]

Well, the biube sort of found me. When I was younger I had my first fish tank. It was very cheap and was a very bad tank and all the goldfish I had died very quickly. ( It was in a toy shop!) It got such bad reviews it was taken off the market. It even had a shark cage thing to feed the fish with! So later on I decided to have another proper go with the hobby again. When browsing for tanks, I came along the biorb. I liked every thing about it. From the fact it could be cold water, tropical and marine to the intelligent LED light. The biorb 60 I really liked but I did not have the space for it as it weighs so much. The biube was smaller, neater and had a bigger surface area. So that was the one I went for and so far no regrets.

Looking back on my choice, i'd say i could have done better. There are many fancy tanks out there which are kuch bigger or cheaper and probably much easier to maintain but i guess you have to give it some credit. After all how many acrylic cylindrical tanks are there out there!

 

[Fishkeeper4567]

Yeah. They are a bit pricey. As you said you can get 100 litre plus tank for under £150! I think it is worth the money though.
