What happens if there is a power cut?
A power cut will interrupt the supply of oxygen into the biOrb. Without oxygen for long periods filter bacteria will start to die and the water may become polluted. Fish may also experience difficulty breathing, particularly at night when oxygen levels naturally drop and live plants take their share of oxygen too.It is advisable to test the water after a noticeable power cut to see if the water has become polluted, so that remedial action can be taken. If long term power failure occurs it is essential that the air pump is raised well above the biOrb water level as per air pump instructions.
