I just set up this 4gal Biorb tank: I know, pretty disliked tanks among betta keepers. Had it laying around in storage and decided to set it up after tearing down my old 20 gallon (which housed my goldfish), since i couldn’t keep up with it anymore and didn’t see a reason in keeping it after my fish passed…
It has a bunch of java fern and some small anubias plants, drift wood, dragon stone, some moss balls (all from my old tank). For the substrate,to increase the surface area for beneficial bacteria, i added ceramic rings and the biorb ceramic stones, which i used in my canister filter from the established tank for years,along with some smooth river stones. Also added a couple hides and an indian almond leaf for more comfort.
It has a heater and i actually replaced the biorb airpump with a quieter one that has different airflow options, so there isn’t too much movement on the surface. Basically i jumpstarted the cycle by adding everything from my old tank, also added some beneficial bacteria for safety (did water tests,results came out fine).
He seems happy and active so far, it’s only his first day. What are your thoughts on Biorbs and this setup?
