Review: There is a small hole in cover that can fit a cord for heater - Pros: very quiet, ultra clear, practical dimensions, easy to set up, bright light, sleek design, would look good with a variety of interior design styles. Cons: light isn’t dimmable (worried it’s too bright for my betta), limited access via cover in the top, pump only has one speed, view distorted at curved corners. This is a great small aquarium, my betta seems to be very happy since moving in. It wasn’t apparent from the description and photos that I would be able to run the heater cord through the lid, but there is a small hole just behind the power cord connecting the light that fits the heater cord perfectly. The minimal design is unobtrusive and the filter pump is very quiet. Review: PERFECT!!! - I absolutely love this tank. This is my 4th BiOrb tank. I really like this best because it has a larger hole in the top so I can fit a bigger centerpieces in it. This gives you more options for decor. I like that it has a full view on three different sides. I like that the one side is black to camouflage the heater. This tank is home to my samurai betta, snowflake, he seems to like it. All the biOrbs are so easy to set up. I think they are so classy looking. I’m hoping to get a bigger one some day. ## Features - THE PERFECT AQUARIUM FOR SMALL SPACES — The FLOW aquarium has three transparent sides, so you can easily find a space to place and admire your biOrb.

I really like this best because it has a larger hole in the top so I can fit a bigger centerpieces in it. This gives you more options for decor. I like that it has a full view on three different sides. I like that the one side is black to camouflage the heater. This tank is home to my samurai betta, snowflake, he seems to like it.

Also, the filter is easy to remove and clean if you’re using the right size of rocks and stratum Big cons: the filter would be terrible for fluval stratum so no aquarium plants with deep roots or shrimp hiding places if you have an aggressive fish like a betta; the light and shape distortion on the corner of each face is annoying. Overall, this is a good kit for the size and what you get. I hadn’t put together a tank in 20 years so I wanted something easy. This is a nice decoration piece in my living room but I wouldn’t buy this again because of the corner distortion. I would have gone a little larger with a 14 to 20 gallon tank so I could have a larger number and more diverse type of tank creatures and a different filter setup for fluval stratum. I have had ZERO algae issues. Keep at least a couple different kinds of plants, keep a couple of nerite snails, and keep up with sampling your water (the API chemicals and kits are good) and cycling your water otherwise the tank type won’t matter. ## Frequently Bought Together - biOrb Flow 30 Acrylic 8-Gallon Aquarium with White LED Lights Modern Tank for Tabletop Display, Black - biOrb Bubble Tube Guard, Acrylic Cover Aquariums, Keeps Objects, Fish, Snails, Shrimp Out of Filter - BiOrb Decor Set – 30L Stone Garden, Medium --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/428195194-flow-30-acrylic-8-gallon-aquarium-with-white-led-lights](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/428195194-flow-30-acrylic-8-gallon-aquarium-with-white-led-lights) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
