Classy Aquariums – The BiOrb
- Help the ‘Chi’ energy (in Feng Shui) that flows through the universe to curve around rooms using round objects and clean, well-lit flowing water (with fish).
- A fish bowl on the left hand side of your front door encourages good ‘chi’.
- 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. Further tips include combining fish with a biOrb with a blue or black lid and base to activate your career. A biOrb with a green lid & base positioned around in the east of your room boosts energies of health and ambition.
So what is Biorb?
Pioneers of aquarium products, Reef One, came up with the Biorb aquarium. The original BiOrb was designed back in ‘98. The two main collections today are Biorb Classic and Biorb Life.
Biorb Aquariums are very chic and wouldn’t look out of place in a lush city centre apartment or office environment. Their simple yet stunning ranges include ‘retro’ squares to traditional ‘fish bowl’ designs.
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 a square and portrait (large and small). These are an interesting fish bowl design and would certainly attract comments from visitors. So if you like it when people admire and talk about your taste in decor, the Biorb Life is the choice for you.
BiUbe Pure – This lovely aquarium is constructed with crystal clear acrylic which shows off the colours inside the tank. Advanced LED lighting effects makes the water look to be 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…just don’t forget you need to add water!
Measuring 42 cm high and 40cm wide, the BiOrb 30 aquarium is clearly the smaller of the two classic Orb shaped aquariums while the Biorb 60 Aquarium is a mammoth tank. It gets the name because it is 60 kilos in weight and holds up to 60L of water. If you have a large room that the smaller designs would struggle to be noticed, this is the Biorb tank for you! This is really a complete aquarium kit with a simple set up but you can convert it to a Marine (saltwater) aquarium if desired and also opt for further accessories such as a heater, halogen light or 24hour LED.
Biorb Biube – The BiUbe is a little more compact than the classic Orb range and is perfect for the small home office. Just like other BiOrb models it is very simple to maintain and the base and lid colours are changeable. It has a capacity for 35 litres of water and is ideal for both tropical or coldwater fish
SpyOrb Biorb – This aquarium is relatively new and the design speaks for itself as it resembles an underwater spy hole on a ship. You can have it as it is for freshwater fish or if your tastes are for more exotic fish or marine life you have the option to convert it into a Marine (saltwater) aquarium.
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. I can see these looking simply elegant as a coffee table centre piece or a finishing touch on a hallway stand. The standard black or silver base and top colour options blend in perfectly with modern home designs. 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 from daylight to the soothing blue glow of moonlight. How lovely is that?
Kids Biorb Aquariums – With the colourful lid and base options the Baby BiOrb is just PERFECT for a child’s bedroom. 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. Like all BiOrb aquariums, you simply plug and go – a very simple set up yet such stunning effects. The LED unit apparently reduces the stress on the fish because the light cycles would occur in their natural habitat. You can choose from 7 cycles which can be left to change automatically or you can change it manually (just push a button). The Biorb is already aesthetically appealing as an aquarium; the LED unit gives an added ‘mood lighting’ affect.
