Full Version: BiOrb reef tank?
I was looking around at tanks and I saw this thing called a BiOrb right? I was wondering (if you know the tank im talking about) if this tank would be suitable for a reef tank. Im not sure because theres not really much you can add to it like a skimmer or anything. Help??

With the proper modifications, the biorb is like any other tank... a vessel. Just take out the bubble filter and add a powerhead, voila! And remember to not fill the water to the very top, because of the small surface area.
it can be done as others have done it and i myself did it with a biube and so far its working
