 biorb life or rio 125 which one? Hello all, I was lucky enough to get some money for christmas and have always wanted a fish tank, my wife really likes the biorb life in black to go with her iphone most probably lol but from reading other threads i would be able to keep more fish in something like a rio 125 which seems really well priced. Please please please give me some advice as i dont know anyone with a fish tank, has anyone got either of these tanks or would you recommend something else, please remember im a newbie      |

| Re: biorb life or rio 125 which one? I have 4 different tanks mate . The rio is a good value for money tank with a good filtre system built in for the money that you are paying .. The Biorbs are more of a chav tank lol |

| Re: biorb life or rio 125 which one? Ive had my Juwel Rio 300, now for just over a year, and love it! I looked at Fluval, but they were having leaking issues at the time. The Rio is really easy to clean out, having the filter in the tank, looks stylish, and runs so quietly. Try and get the new Rio's with T5 lighting. More power, for better economy. Bio orbs are fun, but harder to clean out, and less surface area for oxygen exchange! It took me nearly a year to decide. Practical Fishkeeping Forums are great. They are not running at the moment, (thanks to Hackers) but are so useful! Good Luck |

| Re: biorb life or rio 125 which one? It depends on the type of fish your after and how many. I would go for the rio the biorb looks ok but not my thing limits you on the size of your fish did have five tanks at one point now only got 2, one small marine tank and in the process of setting up a malawi tank. |

| Re: biorb life or rio 125 which one? had a malawi tank few years back then went down the marine path but going back to a large malawi tank and small marine to much heartache when it goes wrong not too mention the cost. Had a nem go into a powerhead and wiped out most of the tank. i have always liked the african cichlids next best thing to marine fish for colours and easy to breed. |

| Re: biorb life or rio 125 which one? I've had a tropical community tank now for about ten years, am thinking of getting a cichlid tank or a marine tank but i am still undecided.. __________________ Blackwater Tackle Supplies Keep Ulster's Waters Healthy, Practice Catch and Release! |
