Default My hubby's biorb
My lovely husband Jamie is new to fish keeping, and decided upon a tropical biorb for his first tank, until he feels confident enough to get a bigger aquarium and more fish. So far the 5 cardinal tetras in there seem to be doing fine

I however, am feeling slightly neglected due to Jamie's new-found hobby which has quickly become a bit of an obsession

Biorbs are great! I've got a pair of Brazilian freshwater puffer fish in my tropical tank. Their so interesting to watch.

Lovely, nice set up there. I dont personally like biorbs, but only for aesthetic reasons: they are technically (filtration, etc) very good.

Before you know it he'll have a 5' marine tank in the lounge, requiring water changes and top ups daily, feeding 3/4 times a day, plus feeding the corals etc etc! Hahaha!

Yeah, quite easy to keep clean, don't buy the biorb magnetic algae cleaner to go with it though because we found that it scratches the acrylic.

Not a fan of biorbs, but I like it, its very weel set out!!

Id be careful, if he is neglecting you now, wait until he gets his next tank.... Oh yes he will

I have many complaints from my OH about neglecting her, in the end I had to cut down to one tank from 5

She still complains though
