Biorb Intelligent Heater – Coming Soon

Reef One has announced that the Biorb Intelligent Heater is coming sometime this month.  After waiting for a couple years for the long anticipated Biorb Iheat, the heater is finally on its way.  We are unsure whether the arrival date of May will be in the U.K. and then reach the U.S. later or if it will arrive in the U.S. the same time as the U.K.  We will keep you updated and when we find out for sure we will notify everyone in our coupon club when the heaters will be available.

Reef One Biorb – A Little About The Biorb Manufacturer

History of Reef One Biorb

Founding & History

Reef One started in 1998 by father and son team Paul and Matthew Stevenson, Reef One Ltd. designs and manufactures innovative products for the worldwide aquatics market.
After the construction of the first prototype aquarium in 1999, Reef One received its first order from a single wholesaler. The result was the biOrb, a spherical tank which holds 8 gallons of water.

Reef-One is located in Norwich, United Kingdom and most of their products are made in the U.K. but some products and tanks are made in the U.S.A. and other countries.

Matthew Stevenson is the inventor of the biorb and first created it to satisfy a gap in the aquarium market.  In 1999 aquarium systems were either “very small and cruel” such as the standard goldfish bowl or “very large and expensive.” The biOrb was positioned between these two types of products, keeping the convenient size but with the integral five-stage filtration system and an integrated light, ensuring the welfare of the fish.

Since the launch of the biOrb 30 aquarium in 1999, eight additional aquariums have been brought to the marketplace; the biOrb 60, Baby biOrb, biorb life aquariums, biube pure, spyorb, and a cylindrical biUbe.  All of the biorb aquariums use the same easy to change filter kit, the Biorb Service Kit.

Reef-One’s vision builds on an ethos that fishkeeping should be made easy, allowing anyone to keep fish successfully, while increasing the well being of the fish. This focus has seen Reef One develop many new and innovative products such as the Biorb Intelligent LED light, which mirrors a natural day cycle including a sunrise and sunset. Freeing the customer from having to manually switch on and off the light, while improving the welfare of the fish.

BiOrb One Way Valve

Buy a One Way Valve now!

Another short one for you today, This quick little video is to show you what the One Way Valve looks like.  The one way valve connects to the biorb air pump to prevent water from leaking back into the air pump.  If the air pump is kept below the aquarium and the one way valve fails water can leak into the biorb air pump causing it to malfunction.

This video shows the Reef One biOrb/biUbe One Way Valve in the bag. The valve provides extra insurance in the unlikely event of water leaking into your air line, or for extending your air line.

At least every 6 months a check should be made by disconnecting the air pump and lowering the air line below the water line. If you wish to extend the length of the air line from your aquarium it is advisable to do so with a one way valve.

Biorb Halogen Light Unit

Buy a Biorb Halogen Light Unit now!

This video shows the Biorb Light Unit in and out of its packaging. You can see the light’s size and design is an easy fit accessory. The low voltage light unit illuminates the biOrb and its inhabitants, turning the BiOrb into an illuminated aquarium. The light unit does not impose on the biOrb’s attractive shape and has a hole in the top for easy fish feeding. The white light simulates daylight, which assists with plant growth and brings out the true colors of the fish in your BiOrb. With the anti-glare shield removed (see instructions) the biOrb can be transformed into a living table lamp.

The Biorb light bulb is included with the unit. Use the light unit only with Biorb and Biube aquariums. No transformer is included and fits the 8, 9, and 16 gallon Biorb and Biube aquariums.

BiOrb Bubble Tube Guard

Buy a Bubble Tube Guard now!

Yet again, a short little clip, simply showing you what the BiOrb Bubble Tube Guard looks like so you can know before you buy.

Some fish like to try a squeeze themselves into the most unlikely places. Just in case one of the fish in your BiOrb aquarium enjoys this behavior, we have a top for the BiOrb bubble tube, which prevents fish from getting in, while still allowing bubbles to get out.

The biorb tube guard slides over the opening of the biorb bubble tube to prevent your fish from swimming down the bubble tube and getting stuck in your filter.  The biorb bubble tube guard might just be the difference between life and death for your fish.
