• In feng shui, clean, flowing, well-lit water with fish is the ultimate way of transforming bad energy and round objects help chi (the energy force that flows throughout the Universe) to curve around rooms and buildings.
• A fish bowl on the left hand side of your front door encourages good ‘chi’.
• The chinese word for fish AND success is “yu”.
• It’s believed that by placing fish in the home or office brings good fortune
• Three fish symbolise “yang” energy. The best combination is two goldfish (representing good luck and energy) and one black fish (representing protection)
• Goldfish (or ‘baby dragons’) in feng shui are considered very lucky.

With the five-stage filtration system, bubbling water and low-voltage light, Biorb is considered by some to be perfect for good Feng Shui. Another tip to activate your career is to have fish in a BiOrb aquarium with a blue or black base and lid. And if you position a biOrb in the east part of your living room/dining room/office with a green lid and base it boosts energies of health and ambition.

So what is Biorb?

Pioneers of aquarium products, Reef One, came up with the Biorb aquarium. The first Biorb was designed in 1998 and the two main collections within the range are Biorb Classic and Biorb Life.

Biorb Aquariums are very chic and wouldn’t look out of place in a lush city centre apartment or office environment. Their simple yet stunning designs range from the traditional ‘fish bowl’ sphere to a ‘retro’ square.

New editions are in development continuously but currect collections that you can buy today.

Biorb Life – The Biorb Life collection is a set of really funky retro aquariums. You can choose between large or small portrait (rectangular) or a box/square design. These are an interesting fish bowl design and would certainly attract comments from visitors. So if you like it when people admire and talk about your taste in decor, the Biorb Life is the choice for you.

BiUbe Pure – This lovely aquarium is constructed with crystal clear acrylic which shows off the colours inside the tank. Advanced LED lighting effects makes the water look to be suspended in mid-air. Like all the Biorb aquariums, Pure is a ‘plug and go aquarium and is supplied with:

BiOrb 30 & BiOrb 60 – The original classic BiOrb designs are a popular favourite probably the most popular because of their classic ‘fish bowl’ shape. Don’t forget these aquariums are pretty much ready to plug in as soon as it’s delivered. Nothing else needed, apart from the fish naturally…and don’t forget to add water!

Measuring 42 cm high and 40cm wide, the BiOrb 30 aquarium is clearly the smaller of the two classic Orb shaped aquariums while the Biorb 60 Aquarium is a mammoth tank. It is so called because it weighs 60 kilos and holds 60L (16 US Gallons) of water. If you have a large room that the smaller designs would struggle to be noticed, this is the Biorb tank for you! While it’s a complete aquarium kit, further options include a halogen light, heater and 24hour LED and you can convert it to a Marine aquarium with the marine conversion kit.

Biorb Biube – The BiUbe is a little more compact than the classic Orb range and is perfect for the small home office. Just like other BiOrb models it is very simple to maintain and the base and lid colours are changeable. It has a capacity for 35 litres of water and is ideal for both tropical or coldwater fish

SpyOrb Biorb – This aquarium is relatively new and the design speaks for itself as it resembles an underwater spy hole on a ship. You can have it as it is for freshwater fish or if your tastes are for more exotic fish or marine life you have the option to convert it into a Marine (saltwater) aquarium.

The Biorb Spyorb comes in white, black or silver

Baby BiOrb – The Baby Biorb’s are the cutest and smallest of the Biorb Classic aquariums. I can see these looking simply elegant as a coffee table centre piece or a finishing touch on a hallway stand. The standard base and top colours are black or silver which blend in perfectly with modern furniture and fittings. You can opt for a function called ‘Baby BiOrb Moonlight’ which switches the lighting effects when evening comes. Baby biOrb Moonlight automatically switches from daylight to the soothing blue glow of moonlight. How lovely is that?

Kids Biorb Aquariums – With the colourful lid and base options the Baby BiOrb is just PERFECT for a child’s bedroom. Choose from baby pink for the girls or baby blue for the boys. A neutral theme for a child could be the tangy yellow or Glow in the Dark Green is perfect for little lads!

BiOrb Lighting – You can get an LED light unit to create a 24 hour lighting cycle effect including sunrise, daylight, sunset and moonlight. The unit is concealed in the aquarium lid and can actually last 50,000 hours. Like all BiOrb aquariums, you simply plug and go – a very simple set up yet such stunning effects. The LED unit apparently reduces the stress on the fish because the light cycles would occur in their natural habitat. There are actually 7 different cycles to choose from and you can change between them at the push of a button or simply leave it on automatic. The Biorb is already aesthetically appealing as an aquarium; the LED unit gives an added ‘mood lighting’ affect.
