My son came to visit and flipped over my Biorb!

So I happen to have a spare I have been using for plants and I am setting it up for him to take. New light should be here next week.

You are too cool! What a great idea.

I shared the love with my daughter and she bought an Edge 6.6G tank, which I ended up getting back. Same with the 46G bowfront. Good luck.

What is the stock going to be???
 
They have a betta in a bowl that needs some better digs. ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1477743372.967991.jpg

And I will toss in a snail or two for clean up work.

New LEDS are pretty bright. So I added a thin strip of tint. IMG_1479667011.643292.jpg

I think Red appreciates the reduction in intensity. IMG_1479667055.884983.jpg
 
Handsome fish for a handsome BiOrb --- looks just mah-velous! The color, textures and leaf shapes are really well done. It looks exceptional.

In case you already mentioned them all, I will read back to see if you listed them, but what are all the plants you have in there??
 
Today I saw a 8G Biorb for $8. it was pretty scratched and had a small pump looking thing, I didn't get it due to all the scratches and I need another small tank like a hole in my head (have a pile of them in the closet). So I skipped it, but I thought of you and Red. Now typing this I probably should have got it just for the parts, lol.
 
Needle leaf Java fern, 2 different kinds of anubias and a bit of moss.

What is the stem to the left with rounded looking leaves. I thought I saw a stem of Myrio/Foxtail, not now, before - I don't see it in the last pic!?

Is there a Crypt in there on the left?

It's fake. They are attached to the volcano sculpture!

Yes you should! Scratches usually buff out. And the parts on these things are $$$.
 
Its 45+ minute drive one way, lol. Only getting back up there if there is some other reason to go! But I remembered you mentioning how much $$$ they were. Next time. LIke the time I didn't want to spend something like $29 at the thrift store, can't recall atm for an Biorb Life- I didn't know what it was at the time, and I think it retailed out for $400.00 new, kinda square one, and really I am still kicking myself for that mistake, lol!

Oh man! I haven't seen one of those yet. But I troll Craigslist weekly for goodies. I have a 4g Baby Biorb $40 I haven't set up yet. Saving it for an after Christmas project.
