Key Features
- 30L Terrarium – fully automated terrarium that creates a micro-climate that replicates the natural conditions found under the tropical forest canopy, making it ideal for a variety of different plant, reptile and amphibian species.
- Natural Lighting – the biOrb terrarium has 6 LED lights arranged in a circular pattern at the top of the sphere. This allows for the perfect output to encourage natural growth and prevent plants bending towards a single light source.
- Minimal Maintenance Required – with automatic misting and fan settings, the terrarium can sense when the humidity drops, or the air is getting too stagnant and adjust the misting and fan speed as required. This ensures that the terrarium is constantly running at the conditions required for whatever is living in there.
- Made With Acrylic – This is 10x stronger than glass, 50% lighter, and has a 93% transparency rating. Using acrylic also means there is very little heat loss which means it is the ideal material for maintaining an internal terrarium climate.
- Dimensions – 46 x 40cm (W x H) - 2-year manufacturer guarantee.
Description
The biOrb Air 30L Terrariums are a unique, fully automated terrarium system that creates the right microclimate for growing tropical plants or housing frogs (such as poison dart frogs). By replicating the natural conditions under a tropical rainforest canopy, you are able to create the ideal growing conditions for tropical plants such as orchids, air plants, mosses, carnivorous plants and many more.
The biOrb Air 30L Terrariums use a treated sterilised coir compost as the substrate, which helps to cultivate the plants roots. The compost sits on top of a capillary mat that draws water up and into the compost from a small reservoir found at the base of the unit, this is to maintain hydration levels.
A 24 hour automated light cycle replicates natural daylight and nighttime through a six LED lighting array positioned at the top of the biOrb Air 30L Terrarium. These emit light output levels suitable for encouraging natural growth, whilst preventing plants from bending towards a single light unit. Not only that, but they simulate natural sunrises and sunsets for a truly unique and pleasant display all day and into the evening.
The air inside the biOrb Air 30L Terrariums is constantly circulated by a built-in fan, which passes through a replaceable carbon filter to keep the air as fresh and clean as possible whilst discouraging stagnation and condensation. To help maintain the correct levels of humidity inside the biOrb Air 30L Terrarium's microclimate, water is added to the Terrarium using the built-in ultrasonic mister, which keeps your plants well hydrated.
