Classy Aquariums - The BiOrb

In feng shui, clean, flowing, well-lit water with fish is the ultimate way of transforming bad energy and round objects help chi (the energy force that flows throughout the Universe) to curve around rooms and buildings.
Encourage good ‘chi’ by having a fish bowl on the left hand side of your front door.
The chinese word for fish AND success is “yu”.
It’s believed that by placing fish in the home or office brings good fortune
Three fish symbolise “yang” energy. The best combination is two goldfish (representing good luck and energy) and one black fish (representing protection)
Goldfish (or ‘baby dragons’) in feng shui are considered very lucky.

With the five-stage filtration system, bubbling water and low-voltage light, Biorb is considered by some to be perfect for good Feng Shui. Another tip to activate your career is to have fish in a BiOrb aquarium with a blue or black base and lid. And if you position a biOrb in the east part of your living room/dining room/office with a green lid and base it boosts energies of health and ambition.

So what is Biorb?

Biorb is the brainchild of Reef One, pioneers of aquarium products since 1998. The original BiOrb was designed back in ‘98. The two main collections today are Biorb Classic and Biorb Life.

Biorb aquarium tanks are very chic and wouldn’t look out of place in a lush city centre apartment or office environment. Their simple yet stunning designs range from the traditional ‘fish bowl’ sphere to a ‘retro’ square.

New editions are in development continuously but currect collections that you can buy today.

Biorb Life - The Biorb Life collection is a set of really funky retro aquariums. You can choose between large or small portrait (rectangular) or a box/square design. These are an interesting fish bowl design and would certainly attract comments from visitors. The Biorb Life is a perfect solution if you get a little kick when friends admire your home decor and furniture tastes.

BiUbe Pure - The BiUbe Pure aquarium is constructed with crystal clear acrylic which really emphasises the colours inside. The advanced LED lighting gives the appearance that water is suspended in mid-air. Pure is a ‘plug and go’ aquarium, like all BiOrbs and comes with:

BiOrb 30 & BiOrb 60 - The original classic BiOrb designs are a popular favourite probably the most popular because of their classic ‘fish bowl’ shape. Remember the BiOrbs are complete aquariums and delivered ready to plug in. You don’t have to go shopping for anything else - except the fish of course…and don’t forget to add water!

The Biorb 60 Aquarium is a mammoth sized classic Orb shaped aquarium compared to the BiOrb 30 aquarium which measures 42 cm high and 40cm wide. It gets the name because it is 60 kilos in weight and holds up to 60L of water. This is the BiOrb design for you if you have a larger space which would drown the smaller ranges! While it’s a complete aquarium kit, further options include a halogen light, heater and 24hour LED and you can convert it to a Marine aquarium with the marine conversion kit.

Biorb Biube - The BiUbe is a little more compact than the classic Orb range and is perfect for the small home office. You can change the base and lid colour and it is so simple to maintain just like the other models. It has a capacity for 35 litres of water and is ideal for both tropical or coldwater fish

Spyorb - This aquarium is relatively new and the design speaks for itself as it resembles an underwater spy hole on a ship. It can be used to hold freshwater fish or it can be converted to a Saltwater (Marine) aquarium if you prefer the more exotic aquatic life.

The Biorb Spyorb comes in white, black or silver

Baby BiOrb - The Baby Biorb’s are the cutest and smallest of the Biorb Classic aquariums. These would fit in quite nicely sat in a hallway or the middle of a coffee table in the lounge area. The standard base and top colours are black or silver which blend in perfectly with modern furniture and fittings. An option for Baby Biorb is ‘Baby Biorb Moonlight’ which is an automatic switch activated when evening comes and the room goes dark. Baby biOrb Moonlight automatically switches off the daylight bulb leaving just the soothing blue blue glow of the moonlight. How lovely?

BiOrb aquariums for Kids - The colourful lid and base options make Baby BiOrb IDEAL for a childrens theme. Choose from baby pink for your princess, baby blue for your little prince. A neutral theme for a child could be the tangy yellow or Glow in the Dark Green is perfect for little lads!

BiOrb Lighting - You can get an LED light unit to create a 24 hour lighting cycle effect including sunrise, daylight, sunset and moonlight. The unit is concealed in the aquarium lid and can actually last 50,000 hours. Set up is simple, like anything Biorb; you just plug it in. The LED unit is thought to reduce the stress on the fish by producing artificial light cycles that would occur in their natural habitat. There are actually 7 different cycles to choose from and you can change between them at the push of a button or simply leave it on automatic. The Biorb is already aesthetically appealing as an aquarium; the LED unit gives an added ‘mood lighting’ affect.
