This all-in-one biOrb Service Kit is designed with our customers in mind. It contains everything you need to complete your regular biOrb aquarium maintenance. The filter cartridge in your biOrb should be changed every 4-8 weeks*. A new cartridge is supplied in the Service Kit as well as a special cleaning pad for removing dirt and algae from the inside surface of the biOrb and water preparation treatments for carrying out a partial water change. The kit also contains easy to follow step by step instructions. Most aquariums have filters with several compartments containing different types of filter media which needs to be carefully cut, measured and changed. Changing too much or too little can result in water quality problems. In the Service Kit this has all been done for you, so you just have to replace the filter cartridge and complete a small water change. *Frequency of filter changes depends on the size of your biOrb and the fish stocking level. Please refer to your biOrb instructions for further details.

Full Brand Name Kit x3
It was not clear what this kit included or didnât include and I was reluctant to purchase if this only included the sponges ( similar to some third parties that donât include the charcoal) but this kit was better than expected for the price! Actual biorb brand so you donât have to worry about fit or function. Includes water clarifier as well. These replacements are pricy but I find even with 10 fish in the tank I only need to do an 1/8th of a tank water change every 2-3 weeks as long as the filter ( and carbon) is changed out every 6 months or so. To me the time saved in tank maintenance is worth the 5-10$ extra it costs to buy the set.Scrub pads work great. Wish there were more but they can be used a couple times.Water clarifier, honestly not much value added ( especially if you do water changes regularly). But if you find that you stir something up when you move decor or catch a fish this will clear it up quickly.Packets for water treatment are ok. Care with concentration. It has put a fish into shock once because it hadnât mixed in well enough.

Easy to install, stabilizes water quality fast
You definitely need to remove your fish, decorations, and a significant amount of water before you can change the filter. You simply rotate the bubble tube to take the old filter off and put the new filter on. The algae towelette is tiny; I was only able to clean 1/3rd of my tank with it. I own 8 fish tanks ranging in size from 2-10 gallons, one of them is a 4 gallon spherical biorb. I use a master test kit to test the PH, nitrite, nitrate, ammonia levels in my tanks and the water quality is consistently the best in the biorb tank, which is why itâs easy to forget to change the filter on time! The filter and its design is the best, I love it

Easy to Use
I think its nice that is easy to just pop out the old filter and twist on the new one. I dont use the Biorb water conditioner or booster, so i do not have any thoughts on if it hurts fish like other reviews mention..but i prefer imagitarium brand water conditioner and biological booster from the petshop..works perfectly. Biorbs seem to get dirty fast if you over feed fish too so Id be mindful of that. Great value will keep buying

A bit overpriced, but worth it…
It irks me to pay $10 a piece for these kits, when I know I can refill them with 50 cents worth of charcoal myself and rinse the sponge. However, after doing just that for a while, I have switched back to the kits. It’s worth the money for the convenience, and Spot (my goldfish) gets slightly cleaner water, which makes her happy. The 6-packs are cost-effective, and after the second swap, I forget about the cost and appreciate the ease of changing them out.On the other hand, the design and engineering of the filter pack is truly horrid (whether you use the kit or not), and the difficulty of getting the tabs to line up and lock in place makes every filter change a hassle. If you don’t yet have a Biorb system, I would highly recommend you don’t get one. You will be locked into a system of overpriced, yet poorly designed accessories. Too bad, because they are beautiful to look at.

Awesome.
The quality is great. I’ve purchased inexpensive ones that just did not work. You get what you pay for in general.

Was just as expected. This kit has everything you need for completing a water change and really makes aquarium up-keep seem simple and easy. The kit contains a cloth for cleaning the aquarium walls and I love it! If it wasn’t for the higher cost of this filter (although maybe worth it for ease of use) as compared to other aquarium filter refills, I would probably buy a new service kit for every water change. Instead, I bought one service kit/filter cartridge in addition to the filter cartridge I received with the aquarium. I rotate between the two filter cartridges by disposing of the old carbon and rinsing off all the filter components. I then bought some fresh active carbon and zeolite that I use to refill the cartridges. I have only performed 3 water changes so I have not been using this system long. I expect in time I will purchase more of these service kits as the sponges wear out.As a side note, I have been able to reuse the cleaning cloth twice now by rinsing and air drying it between water changes. I also bought a separate bottle of water conditioner. However, this kit contains all the water conditioner you need so if you buy a new service kit for each water change you are good to go.

We have been buying these for our biorb for several years. They are easy to use and fit easily. They work well supplying the tank with a good amount of bubbles. They filter the water well and we find it lasts about 8 weeks so is good value for money really.
