1 Carefully remove contents from the
box and check. Choose a suitable
location for your aquarium noting all
the advice above and place your
aquarium on a strong and level surface.
Remember the aquarium needs a
power source within reach.
2 Remove plastic wrapper from filter
cartridge (A) then offer up cartridge to
base of bubble tube (B), locate tabs and
twist in a counterclockwise direction
ensuring all cartridge tabs are fully
located. New cartridges are available
from a bi rb dealer.
3 Remove the light unit and lid from the
biOrb then take the bubble tube and
filter cartridge assembled in step 2 and
insert into the biOrb. Turn the bubble tube
clockwise until it locks in position. When
correctly located, the bubble tube and filter
will remain in place.
4Wash the ceramic media supplied
thoroughly before placing around the
filter body, ensuring none remains on top.
Use only ceramic media supplied, do not
use aquarium gravel. Discard any pieces
smaller than a pea.
5 Connect the airline to the pump as shown
and place in a suitable position. Positioning
the pump higher than the aquarium water
level will prevent water leakage or damage
to pump should valve failure occur.

Caring for your aquarium
1Every 2 weeks a 30% water change is desirable to
reduce pollution in the water. Use a sachet of water
treatment in 4 litres/1 US Gallon of tap water. A Cleaner
Pump (not supplied) is an easy way to remove debris
and siphon out the water. After setting up never use
tap water to clean the ceramic media, it will kill
biological filtration.
2Every 6 weeks a new filter cartridge will be required to
maintain the water condition. The cartridge and
instructions are in the Service Kit.
3The Air Stone in the base of the aquarium will
eventually become blocked restricting the flow of
bubbles into the aquarium, the Air stone should be
replaced every 6 months.
The Air Pump will wear out over time and could
become noisy, reducing the flow of bubbles even after
changing the air stone. Replace immediately after
failure, to avoid problems.
Green Water is caused by algae growth. Some algae is
natural in healthy aquariums. owever, if your aquarium
water quickly turns green it may be caused by too much
light, overfeeding, too many fish or high levels of nitrate
and phosphate in the tap water.
4Cleaning the aquarium requires care to prevent
scratching. Never use household detergents, polishes or
scouring pads. The outside of the bowl can be wiped
with a soft cloth or purchase a Plastic Scratch Remover
& Polish kit. The inside should be cleaned with a
Cleaning Pad.
J
The Light
Cleaning the light is easy and is a
good idea to keep your aquarium
looking at its best. Simply wipe the
lens with a Cleaning Pad.
The long life LEDs typically last for
over 50,000 hours and should
never need replacing.

ptional Moon-Light, is fitted with a
light sensor (fig 1) and will automatically
switch to (blue) moonlight when the
room is darkened, so there’s no need to
switch the light on and off. If required,
the light may still be operated using the
on/off switch in the power cable.

Choosing and
introducing fish
Do not crowd with decor or over stock
with fish, your baby biOrb will house up
to 6 small fish. When introducing small
fish, add gradually at a rate of 2 every 28
days. This will encourage a population of
filter bacteria in the ceramic media that
will keep the water clean. Adding fish too
quickly may cause the water to be
polluted and unsafe for fish. When
adding fish follow instructions from your
aquatic shop to ensure the fish are gently
acclimatised to their new home. Feed
each fish 4-6 of the pellets supplied per
day, do not overfeed.
