A Biorb is a great marketing company who sells aquariums, very aesthetically pleasing ones I think.
So always wanting a nice fish tank like the rich people on tv I bought a small one for a single small fish because my girlfriend wouldn’t stop about wanting a beta.
Oh who’s kidding I knew if I bought a small one and got into it I can slowly grow this hobby into something I enjoy and spend my energy on earth learning about and appreciating…like cannabis growing lol (over 10k later probably lol)
So here is Bossman’s brother who is on TV we say (because bossman watches him like a 2nd TV with the windows being his first)
Meet Rocket (like an American red white and blue theme, even though I’m not American, he also darts around like a little rocket. Finally we have learned over time he is as aggressive as blowing a rocket up on anyone we put in his tank to even a snail
RIP
Turbo (zebra snail #1 the OG)
Rocket has also claimed the lives of 6 yellow dwarf shrimp… It took him a week but he did it, not enough coverage in our tank we Geuss and it’s to small (like fighting a war and learning how to fight a war with your children’s lives it’s actually sad even though we really tried and did research)
So bossman’s been giving him some of his own terror in return at times but not often anymore as they have learned to be intrigued by each other than the whole fish/cat thing)
Anyways these Biorbs have a strip of those LED RBG strips in them, also wired to their air pump into a 110v block.
My fish group is saying I need to get a bigger tank and better lighting Wich I can understand but I can’t get a bigger tank for a while because this one fits, it’s already a decent investment, we don’t need alot of fish.
However lighting maybe we can do.
@dbrn32 and all the other people that have done DIY builds understands what’s out there etc please chime in.
The lighting requirements are very very minimal so I Geuss I need some pretty weak light they told me to get a this and put it in a lamp beside it should do the trick but I want to fix this the right way.
Geuss I shiuld find the Wattage or amperage on the current lights tomorrow if possible.
That being said close to or double this 14 PPFD lol should be fine.
Facts are
Has doesn’t have to be water proof, sits outside the whole, under a top lid/skirt.
Unaware of the Wattage
Can I keep it wired to the same plug running more wires is not ideal visually for a fish tank but I could do it and put some conduit on the wires I Geuss.
The lighting requirements for the plants in here won’t be anything like cannabis and we don’t have room for a dimmer I don’t think as well as can’t raise or lower lights.
I’m going to take it apart tomorrow and I’ll update on the exact wiring with pictures.
Thoughts until then are appreciated
