Key Features: Unique Biorb Filter All biOrbs have a filter at the bottom of the aquarium, which is where solid waste naturally settles. The air driven filtration system creates a constantly changing water surface, this maintains oxygen saturation. The circular flow of water then collects the fish waste on its way down and draws the waste through the ceramic media substrate where the natural biological filtration takes place. Any remaining waste is trapped in the sponge cartridges which need replacing at regular intervals. The water then passes through resin particles and natural stabilisers to remove toxic substances and keep the pH levels constant.  Modern Acrylic Design For your peace of mind, the light and pump are low voltage and both are backed by a 12 month guarantee. The aquarium itself is made from acrylic which is ten times stronger than glass. These attractive aquariums make an excellent addition to a desktop or side in the home, they are suitable for a small number of (approximately 12) small fish and/or shrimps.

You can leave it running 24/7, so if you are late home or away on holiday your fish's routine is not disturbed.
