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
