New fish tank

Hi all,

I am moving to a new flat soon and wanted to upgrade my current fish tank. I have only one goldfish and am looking to purchase this: biUbe Coldwater Aquarium With Halogen Light - Pet Supplies from PET SUPERMARKET® the uk's #1 Online pet store
If anyone has experience with this or just knows a bit about it, I would be very grateful to know if it would rinse my electric bill?!
It looks lovely and all the oxygen level studies have sold it to me. Just wanted a bit of feedback from you guys though.

Thanks

Nats

Re: New fish tank

dont waste your money!

i would really love to meet these people who conducted these experiments with oxygen levels, because all reports i have seen say quite the reverse.
biorbs and biubes have a bad reputation in the hobby due to very poor oxygen levels in the tanks when compared to a rectangular tank (due to the restricted surface area), and the filtration they come with is sub standard. its best to avoid them, more trouble than they are worth. very hard to keep clean!

and, on top of that, the tank you show is only 35L, and thus too small for even a single goldfish anyway. regular goldfish require about 90L per fish, with the more fancy varieties requiring about 50L per fish
