biOrb Service Kit

This was awesome! Easy to change out. Froggies were happy! I would recommend this for everyone. It fits the smaller and larger ones.

Ive had a betta for a few years. Being economic and well researched I would rinse my filter in the old tank water during clean up and place it back in the filter. Well over time it became a unappealing color obviously and I said hey, why not get a new one. So after ordering in placing the new filter in the tank everything seem to look perfectly well. Im not going to blame this product for killing my fish but the fact is it died a week later. I could notice the discoloration after two days in the fishes scales. And then he was no longer able to swim in late on the bottom of the tank. This was heartbreaking and I cant help but wonder if he would still be alive if I had just kept the routine with the usual filter.

Works great

A little secret, wash out sponge and reuse

Nice

Had my 3 biorbs working over a year now. No problems. Reading some of the other reviews I do do some things differently. First, I never put anything in my tank without putting it in at least a half gallon bottle of water first (when changing water.) I also rinse out the sponge in used fish water. Not in straight tap water. Thats just putting chlorine, etc in the sponge and then directly into the tank! I do rinse out the sponge and put it back in once or twice before replacing the whole filter. I didnt see any review mention the little black and white balls under the sponge. These presumably are the charcoal, etc which also have value and a limited lifespan. So imho a filter does need to be fully replaced. I use seachem prime and stability with every water change. I only use the biob supplied chemicals when I have to take the fish and everything else out about twice a year for a total cleaning.

Its easy to use. Just follow instructions.

Worked good

I have four mollies and the second day after putting this new filter in two of my mollies died. I didnt really want to believe the reviews because sometimes its different in a different tank, but nope this item kills fish. DO NOT BUY

The product comes as described and is very easy to replace. The filters last me a lot longer than they state to last, especially if you feed your fish pellet food.
