- Help the ‘Chi’ energy (in Feng Shui) that flows through the universe to curve around rooms using round objects and clean, well-lit flowing water (with fish).
- A fish bowl on the left hand side of your front door encourages good ‘chi’.
- The chinese word for fish AND success is “yu”.
- It’s believed that by placing fish in the home or office brings good fortune
- Three fish symbolise “yang” energy. The best combination is two goldfish (representing good luck and energy) and one black fish (representing protection)
- Goldfish (or ‘baby dragons’) in feng shui are considered very lucky.
With the five-stage filtration system, bubbling water and low-voltage light, Biorb is considered by some to be perfect for good Feng Shui. Further tips include combining fish with a biOrb with a blue or black lid and base to activate your career. And if you position a biOrb in the east part of your living room/dining room/office with a green lid and base it boosts energies of health and ambition.
So what is Biorb?
Biorb is the brainchild of Reef One, pioneers of aquarium products since 1998. The original BiOrb was designed back in ‘98. The two main collections today are Biorb Classic and Biorb Life.
Biorb fish tanks are very chic and wouldn’t look out of place in a lush city centre apartment or office environment. Their simple yet stunning designs range from the traditional ‘fish bowl’ sphere to a ‘retro’ square.
New editions are in development continuously but currect collections that you can buy today.
Biorb Life - The Biorb Life collection is a set of really funky retro aquariums. You can choose between large or small portrait (rectangular) or a box/square design. These are an interesting fish bowl design and would certainly attract comments from visitors. So if you like it when people admire and talk about your taste in decor, the Biorb Life is the choice for you.
BiUbe Pure - This lovely aquarium is constructed with crystal clear acrylic which shows off the colours inside the tank. Advanced LED lighting effects makes the water look to be suspended in mid-air. Like all the Biorb aquariums, Pure is a ‘plug and go aquarium and is supplied with:
BiOrb 30 & BiOrb 60 - The original classic BiOrb designs are a popular favourite probably the most popular because of their classic ‘fish bowl’ shape. Don’t forget these aquariums are pretty much ready to plug in as soon as it’s delivered. Nothing else needed, apart from the fish naturally…and don’t forget to add water!
The Biorb 60 Aquarium is a mammoth sized classic Orb shaped aquarium compared to the BiOrb 30 aquarium which measures 42 cm high and 40cm wide. It gets the name because it is 60 kilos in weight and holds up to 60L of water. This is the BiOrb design for you if you have a larger space which would drown the smaller ranges! This is really a complete aquarium kit with a simple set up but you can convert it to a Marine (saltwater) aquarium if desired and also opt for further accessories such as a heater, halogen light or 24hour LED.
Biorb Biube - The BiUbe is a little more compact than the classic Orb range and is perfect for the small home office. Just like other BiOrb models it is very simple to maintain and the base and lid colours are changeable. It has a capacity for 35 litres of water and is ideal for both tropical or coldwater fish
SpyOrb - This aquarium is relatively new and the design speaks for itself as it resembles an underwater spy hole on a ship. It can be used to hold freshwater fish or it can be converted to a Saltwater (Marine) aquarium if you prefer the more exotic aquatic life.
The Biorb Spyorb comes in white, black or silver
Baby BiOrb - The Baby Biorb’s are the cutest and smallest of the Biorb Classic aquariums. I can see these looking simply elegant as a coffee table centre piece or a finishing touch on a hallway stand. The standard black or silver base and top colour options blend in perfectly with modern home designs. An option for Baby Biorb is ‘Baby Biorb Moonlight’ which is an automatic switch activated when evening comes and the room goes dark. Baby biOrb Moonlight automatically switches off the daylight bulb leaving just the soothing blue blue glow of the moonlight. How lovely?
Kids Biorb Aquariums - With the colourful lid and base options the Baby BiOrb is just PERFECT for a child’s bedroom. Choose from baby pink for the girls or baby blue for the boys. There is a tangy yellow which is great for a neutral child’s theme and for little boys who like slugs, snails and puppy dog’s tails there is the glow in the dark green!
BiOrb Lighting - You can get an LED light unit to create a 24 hour lighting cycle effect including sunrise, daylight, sunset and moonlight. The unit which can last 50,000 hours is nicely concealed in the aquarium lid. Set up is simple, like anything Biorb; you just plug it in. The LED unit is thought to reduce the stress on the fish by producing artificial light cycles that would occur in their natural habitat. There are actually 7 different cycles to choose from and you can change between them at the push of a button or simply leave it on automatic. the LED unit gives an added ‘mood lighting’ affect although the Biorb is aesthetically appealing as an aquarium by itself.
