depends upon which biorb you want?
the 60 litre is about that price, whereas the 30 litre should be about £90 - £100
and the baby 15 litre is about £50.00
Try ebay.
Try and get one with the led light rather that the halogen, much better for the fish and you.

Just to warn you, thses things may look fab, stunning piece of kit, but NIGHTMARE on the upkeep side. Traditional tanks are far easier and have far better filtration available.

I must disagree, I have the bi-ube (the cylinder type one) and had the baby biorb for a while. As long as you don't overstock and put some extra ceramic media in the bowl, all is very well.

Forget about getting the monthly filter kit, just buy some of the sponges from ebay and away you go.

I agree with consumer monkey I have small tetra in mine and do a10% once weekly water change. Service kit wise I use the 12 pack of sponges to you can buy them on ebay or you can buy exactly the same sponges here www.orbitfilters.co.uk :beer:

As with any aquarium as long as its stocked sensibly and maintained correctly they're stunning! Have you tried Charterhouse aquatics for the biorb there prices are good and free delivery on items over £50 I think it is:T:T:T
