The biOrb Life aquariums are made from 6mm acrylic and have a clear, flat front and rear panel glued to a coloured gloss acrylic wrap. The tanks sit upon an 8mm clear acrylic base. Access to the inside of the new aquariums is via a circular port in the top, into which the recessed lighting unit sits. It uses the identical filtration system everybody is used to in the biOrb and has an LED lighting system providing sunrise, sunlight, sunset, moonlight.
