biOrb Air 30 Terrarium (Grey, 30 Litres), Perfect Beginner Terrarium With Integrated LED Lights To Encourage Natural Growth, Quick & Easy To Set Up, Fully Automated With 360-Degree View, Acrylic

What can i say about the biorb. absolutely love it. simple to set up and use, I have had this 8 months nowOnly certain plants are suitable for it as there is an auto mister in there is set up to be 75% humidity in the enviromenti have bonsais orchids and plenty others, no cacti as they rot.WATERING - you put water in the mister on top and you also pour water in the biorb itself. - In the mister you have to use water purchased from Biorb, In the bowl i use tap or deionized water for cars as i have had venus fly traps.The soil remains damp and is self watering via a capillary mat you can put enough water in there to last about a month.. probably more.Lighting - there is an automatic lighting system 12 hours on 12 hours off.The only downside is the lack of suitable plants available from garden centers to grown in there. Biorb used to sell a great little range of plants but they stopped that. Not all people in the garden centers know what plants are good for this but the criteria is SLOW GROWING plants which are small and can take the HUMIDITY.You need to replace the carbon air filter every 3 months according to the manual.however in another part of the Biorb website it says 6 months. Having opened up the filter they are just using activated carbon sponges. would be easy enough to cut some up to shape yourself and save on the filter.I have had the current filter in there for over 6 months. and there still isnt an issue with it. i think once you notice the garden smell coming out its time to replace the sponge/filterThe Fan is not silent... When i called Reef one orginally they siad it awas as loud as a car heat on the lowest setting.. or a pc fan... It certainly isnt.. its about as loud as an aquarium tank fan. Not silent.. and doesnt disturb me, but its in the living room and we have a fish tank.I hope the next Biorb has some good upgrades. Lights .. timer patters... Easy pour in water access..

I loved the easy set up, I had researched the plants I wanted and had found many set up ideas online. I added worm casts to the coir substrate for fertilisation and bought a biorb rock structure as the centre piece, then added the plants. The lighting cycle is sufficient for my choice of plants, so no problems there!Adding the water was a little fiddly at first, as I used a 1 ltr jug which just fitted through the top. I will use a funnel in future to avoid splashing mud and water onto the plastic. The price was a little off putting, but they are the only one of this kind on the market at the moment so no competition.All in all I’m pleased with this purchase, and look forward to redesigning it in the future.

Beautiful when planted but the fan is really too loud in a quiet room. Easy to take care of once you get used to the size of the hole you work through. Reef One could be more proactive in their communications when you order consumables (misting spray etc) but are really helpful.

Do not buy. I’ve been trying to get hold of oase uk since getting this as the mister stays on and the fan clicks all the time. They will not get back to me. I spent so much on it so I have it planted up without the mister plugged in. This means the lights pulse a lot of the time. I just have to put up with the clicking. Looks great but its a piece of crap and I urge everyone to stay away. Had a friend buy one around the same time as I did and he also has clicking sounds from the fan. Terrible product and even worst customer service from oase uk

Looks lovely
