biUbe Aquarium with Halogen Light, Black, 9 Gallons CustomerReview

I have been keeping fish on and off for several years now and I have to say I love this tank. I knew it was 9 gallons but for some reason I was surprised by the size of it when I took it out. The filtration system is really great and I am happy the instructions talk about SLOWLY putting fish into the tank. When I first kept fish I wasnt aware of the nitrate rise when you first introduce them to the tank..so its nice to see they bring this to light. Overall I really enjoy this tank. I do not have the stand for it, mine is just on my table. I have small-ish fish in mine, tetras and danios, so I can fit a good shoal of them with my plants.

The drawbacks are that like others have said, the pump it comes with is noisy, but that is an easy fix. And if you set it up properly, there is a wait time to get all the fish you want..which is always the funnest part! But its less of a drawback because it is the proper way to stock a tank anyway. The filtration change packets are expensive but convienient. But a remedy to the expense is just buying them bulk on ebay.

I definitly reccomend this tank to others. My sister in law has the BiOrbe and she loves that as well.

My Biube – jbadrenee – Okinawa Japan
I am a very lazy pet owner and hate maintaining fish tanks which is what made me consider this one. It was advertised as a “low maintenance” tank on another site. I basically just loved the look of the tanks. I purchased 2 of them. They are much bigger then I expected but that is a good thing. It was very easy to set up and so far have not really required any maintenance. I bought my own round tables from a local store versus getting the Biube/orb stands as I read reviews that they are not worth it. My tanks are beautiful and have added a very cool element to my living room. I have huge TV, but the tanks have turned into the focal point when I have company. The only downfall is the picture is a little misleading. It just shows this beautiful tank and side steps the fact that there are cords involved. There are the cords for the tank itself and then for the most part, you will need a heater which is never displayed in pictures and a thermometer. I have had a hard time hiding all the cords, but other then that, I am very please with my tanks.

Aquarium killing my mollies – H. Clayton – New York
I have had the biUbe tank for about 9 months now and am not pleased at all. Sure, it looks great but it has not been a safe, happy environment for my fish. I have just mollies in there and although they were considered almost adult sized at the time, many were sucked into the filter and died. Also, I would have loved to get a Pleco to balance the aquarium (they are great for eating the algea that builds up) but because of the rough rocks on the bottom of the tank this is impossible. The shape of the aquarium does distort the fish slightly but that doesn’t bother me. What bothers me is my fish dying. Also the accessories are quite expensive. I would not recommend this tank to anyone.

Don’t waste your time – Jonie –
I bought this item thinking it would be fantastic and easy to use at the office. I am not a first time aquarium owner, I currently house turtles and fish at home as well. This was just meant to be a small easy low maintenance tank. It is more maintenance just to keep it clean even with scum suckers and cleaners.

No heater- how do fish survive without a heater?

Substandard filter- The construction of the filter and air system is cheap and flimsy. Very little suction, build up of food and scum on the bottom.

Pain to clean out, even with a syphon.

Get a nicer one, spend the money and get what you deserve.
