If you want easy then you want a BiOrb fish tank. In almost all
cases when you buy a BiOrb fish tank you will get all the parts needed
to get started. You should have everything you need in one handy package
and not have to purchase anything else. If you know about aquariums
then setting up one of these will be a breeze.
The nice thing is it is easier for new comers than your traditional fish tank. The big factor you always need to be aware of is the key to setting up any aquarium is allowing yourself time. If you are in a hurry to add fish to the tank in most cases they will end up floating dead at the top. You want the fish to live so allow enough time to make sure everything is just right.
The first thing you want to do after you purchase your BiOrb fish tank is wash each part very well. You want to make sure all the dust and any loose dyes are cleaned so they don't affect your fish's livelihood down the road. Just use water. Soap is absolutely not to be used. Residual from any soaps or detergents will harm your fish. I suggest just using hot water and then you should have no worries. You should do the best you can and if for some reason some small particles are left the filtration system will take care of them.
The first thing you need to add to the BiOrb fish tank is the filter system. In almost all cases you will not need tools. A couple of hand screws to be tightened and you will be on your way. You need to put in the replicated gravel at the bottom of the tank. Only use the media that comes with the tank. You should not be adding any extra gravel or anything like that. Adding extras will only make it harder on the filter and in no time you will end up with cloudy water.
The next step for your BiOrb fish tank is the plants. Remember that the plants will need to be held down by the media that layers the bottom of the tank. The best time to get all this taken care of is before you ever add any water. If you are using real plants you may want to add a little water. The big thing when anchoring real plants is to not crush the roots. You want to bury the roots but be extra careful as to not crush them.
So now you finally get to start adding water to the BiOrb fish tank. Your best bet is going with water that is room temperature. There will be an additive that comes with the kit for purifying the water. On top of that you also have to use a chlorine kit to make sure the chlorides are at an acceptable level. Now you will need to get the heater plugged in, turned on and running for 4 or 5 days before ever adding any fish. This will allow enough bacteria to grow to deal with any wastes from the fish.
There will be a heater included with your BiOrb fish tank as well. Another thing that will be there will be a gauge for measuring the temperature. It is very important to keep the temperatures where they belong if you want to keep your fish alive. A few minutes and you will have the heater running and you will need no tools to install it.
You will have to make a decision as to how many fish you want to keep. This will help you determine the size of tank you will need. At the end of the day make sure it's what you are going to enjoy. There isn't much more beautiful in your home then a BiOrb fish tank.
