   I Love the style and design of what Oase Living Water have to offer in the BiOrb aquarium collections. This is my first BiOrb FLOW tank. And my first Betta! ( always had mostly schooling fish when I was a kid). Set up was super easy. Just follow the simple step by step pictures. I purchased several different plant accessories instead of a Decor Kit so that I can have a more customized look. Once set up, the water has to Cycle for 24 hours so don’t go to aquarium store to get your new fish until the BiOrb is ready . I decided to get a Betta because the Petco Fish expert said my 5 gallon tank isn’t big enough for anything else. (I didn’t want a goldfish because I know the filter would need to be changed more frequently). This is the way a Betta should live! He seems So much happier than in a bowl of still water. The pump runs hard so it bounces right off the table and just continues to do so. It’s long enough to reach the carpet from the tv console table the tank sits on, so I wrapped a sock sound it (as another buyer stated) and you can barely hear it if it’s up against the wall ;)So fast forward to my first Complete water change… yes I had to do a complete water & filter change after just 4 months because the instructions on the Aqueon betta food say to feed 2-3 times per day enough that could be consumed in 2minutes. Algae started growing on everything so I added a few cherry shrimp to do some cleaning up. (Shrimp are the only other aquatic species that the Betta won’t kill). I went back to Petco to see if there was some kind of drops to quicken the algae kill, and when the Fish Chick seen my picture she said my Betta is Bloated and she shouldn’t be able to see the fish’s waste. So over feeding caused the rampant algae growth and since I had large white rocks in the front and the ceramic media toward the back, you could actually see how much Brixton was doing his thing if you know what I mean, so I chose to start over~ fresh. I removed the large topiary ball because it was taking up too much space. Brixton is now on an more appropriate diet if just 3 tiny nuggets of food once a day. I will update went it’s time to do a Partial water & filter change, 😉
