biOrb Service Kit

Thanks

this item is what i needed for this tank

Worked well

Great product with the exception of the water conditioner and biological booster which has been swapped out from the brand pictured. This generic stuff freaks me out every time as my (standard gold) fish sinks to the bottom for a couple hours and generally looks like hes going to the big aquarium in the sky; Ive also noticed his orange color has disappeared. This is the third and final time I will use this kit; planning to get the filter, but just buy the conditioner and booster stuff that used to make my fish zip around the tank. Bummer. I feel bad for my fish.

Thank you.

Great

Had to change the filter more often than the original product that came with the aquarium.

Nice

Was just as expected. This kit has everything you need for completing a water change and really makes aquarium up-keep seem simple and easy. The kit contains a cloth for cleaning the aquarium walls and I love it! If it wasnt for the higher cost of this filter (although maybe worth it for ease of use) as compared to other aquarium filter refills, I would probably buy a new service kit for every water change. Instead, I bought one service kit/filter cartridge in addition to the filter cartridge I received with the aquarium. I rotate between the two filter cartridges by disposing of the old carbon and rinsing off all the filter components. I then bought some fresh active carbon and zeolite that I use to refill the cartridges. I have only performed 3 water changes so I have not been using this system long. I expect in time I will purchase more of these service kits as the sponges wear out. As a side note, I have been able to reuse the cleaning cloth twice now by rinsing and air drying it between water changes. I also bought a separate bottle of water conditioner. However, this kit contains all the water conditioner you need so if you buy a new service kit for each water change you are good to go.

I don’t normally use the water conditioner that comes with the filters because i’ve seen the bad reviews but i used it without thinking this time and within an hour my fish were dead :(
