Bed Bugs Treatment Natural : Best Deal on biUbe Aquarium with ...
The people at the fish store told me I could put 5 or more fish in the 9 gallon tank… that was my first mistake. My advice if you want this tank, is to start very slow and take several days to allow the tank to cultivate the beneficial environment. When I first kept fish I wasnt aware of the nitrate rise when you first introduce them to the tank. I think that it is possible to make a more artfully designed aquarium, but the biUbe doesn’t come close. The only thing I’ve not been as thrilled with is the plastic-esque stand is not as nice as it appears in pictures and pretty expensive for what it is. In fact its almost too short for my liking and the design of 2 flat boards and a metal tube as... Also, it is hard to find the accessories to the biUbe tank. The filtration system is really great and I am happy the instructions talk about SLOWLY putting fish into the tank. The set up was quick and easy (By the way, the light kit or other available accessories plug into the small airpump that came with it as it is also a transformer (only a problem when the airpump eventally dies like they all seem to do in time). The tank is very cool, but I’m having a carpenter build a nicer looking stand to showcase my fish. Along with the three power cables dangling off the back, an air cable also needs to dangle out there. I like the Biube so much I’m planning on purchasing the Larger 16 gallon Biorb for another room. I ended up returning it. I next went to the most reputable aquarium store in the area and had them build up an aquarium with the same specs as this one. In an all in one unit like this why not have a single power cable into the head unit – that would have been sleak. Again you don’t see this in the picture – a much better design would have been to build the airpump and air cable into the top peice of this unit. Wait to put in the fish in and DON’T OVER CROWD THIS TANK…. The round shape only makes things worse – it tends to magnify the heater when looking at the thing from the front. With just a little more effort this could have been an artful design – but the company skimped and it’s really just a plain aquarium with some accessories in the box. The pump on this thing is loud, as we found out there are much quiter pumps than the one that ships in the box. I am new to this whole fish thing and struggled my first three weeks with high ammonia levels. I have been keeping fish on and off for several years now and I have to say I love this tank. Also it would be nice to have some storage areas in the stand as there is no shelf or compartment or anything to hide the airpump or store extra filters, supplies and fish food. I’ve only had it set up for a week but I’ve already gotten tons of compliments on it and my fish are still swimming. No fish died but I felt at first I had to really watch it… almost to the point of obsession. You need a (not included) heater in order to keep the fish in this picture. First as pictured here the fish would die within a few hours. I only put three large oranda’s in and I still think this tank is over crowded. They skimped – a better design would have been a built-in sleak heater along the bottom of the unit. And if you set it up properly, there is a wait time to get all the fish you want. 3 power cables does not equal elegant design....
