biOrb Service Kit,White,Single

Product Information

All round fish bowls, both glass and acrylic have a magnifying effect. Whilst this adds to the appeal of them, one down side is that if placed in direct sunlight they produce a focal point of light that can scorch/burn materials and possibly cause fire.

Can I add more than one fish in the first month? You should not add another fish for at least 28 days unless you are closely monitoring the ammonia level (high ammonia build up can kill fish). Ammonia test kits only cost a few pounds and are a worthwhile buy. Once matured the bacteria will convert the ammonia to less harmful substances. You can dilute the ammonia with 1/3 water changes if it does get high, if you are unsure of what level it is at or if you have added more than one fish. What is the job of infrared light and what is the lifetime? The Infrared & RGB LEDs that are in the biOrb EARTH fulfil the rest of the needed wavelength for reptiles. Infrared wavelengths are the primary terrestrial wavelengths known to penetrate the skin. This means that they are more effective at heating animals.​ Infrared-A is also known as ‘near infrared’.​ It is the shortest wavelength within the group: 750-1400 nanometers. That is because it is the closest to visible light – that which humans can see. It has a high energy and is beneficial for animals. This is because the photons penetrate into the dermis of the skin. Infrared replicates 850nm and 940nm. How long should I leave it before adding my first fish? You should leave the biOrb running for at least 24 hours before adding your first fish as this allows the water to stabilize. If you are using tap water always use the de-chlorinator provided.

VIVARIUM What is the job of UVA light and what is the lifetime? UV-A stimulates pigmentation. Lifetime of the light is 20,000 hours Can I use tap water in the reservoir? We only recommend to use Humidimist. Using tap water will make the guarantee void. Reason for the need to use Humidimist is that we cannot guarantee the functionality of the product worldwide due to variations in water quality. Can small flies/food escape through the venting system? The biOrb EARTH outlets are equipped with a fine mesh foam which keeps inhabitants and their food inside the enclosure. Change/clean the filter more regularly. Leave a maximum of one month between changes until problem subsides. Why is my Misting Unit only working occasionally? The misting unit will only mist when the humidity has dropped. The biOrb AIR has been designed to retain humidity and reduce the need for repeated topping up of the misting reservoir.

Can I add fertilisers to the misting reservoir? No, anything added to the fogger reservoir will be vaporized into mist and eventually precipitate on to all internal surface possibly causing irreparable damage. Can I add a heater to my biOrb and make it tropical? Yes. All biOrbs can be set up as a tropical aquarium simply by adding a standard aquarium heater. A 50-watt heater should provide plenty of heat. What types of fish can I put in the biOrb? Whilst all coldwater fish are suitable for the biOrb, size should be a consideration. We recommend that the smaller the fish the better, and that you use some of the more hardy varieties such as white cloud minnows that do very well in a cold-water biOrb set-up. Always remember more fish equal more maintenance.Why do I have to keep the biOrb out of sunlight? All aquariums should be kept out of sunlight. There are three main reasons why; Why should I use Humidimist? Tap water has a lot of impurities in it. It’ll clog and calcify the misting unit and it’ll also settle as watermarks on the inside of your globe. Humidimist is perfectly balanced to give your plants the humidity they need, but not to damage the delicate components in your biOrb AIR.

What is the job of UVB light and what is the lifetime? UV-B stimulates vitamin D3 synthesis from the precursor vitamin D2. Lifetime of the light is 20,000 hours. Is there a water level indicator installed in the water tank? The water level cannot be seen in the APP. However, the APP will let you know when you will need to refill your water reservoir.
