add a heater.
you mean freshwater tropical right?
freshwater/saltwater/brackish refers to the salt content of the water, or lack thereof.
tropical/coldwater/sub-tropical merely refers to the temperature of the water.
so you can have freshwater tropical, or saltwater tropical, or freshwater coldwater, or saltwater coldwater…etc..etc..etc.
bioorbs are freshwater only. they cannot be converted to saltwater.

Freshwater and tropical are the same thing.

Add a heater, let the tank cycle then add tropical fish.

Biorbs should not be saltwater, they are not the right shape.

Do you mean your Biorb is coldwater? All you need to do is have a heater to make it tropical. Many people assume when you say freshwater you mean coldwater but freshwater can be tropical too. Coldwater tanks usually have goldfish or coldwater minnows. The tempurature for coldwater is usually mid to high 60′s even low 70′s. Tropical tanks are usually mid to high 70′s to mid 80′s.

If you mean convert your freshwater cold tank to a freshwater tropical, just get a heater and thermometer. If you mean to convert it to a saltwater you can’t. Although, biorb sells a “marine conversion kit,” this seems to be merely a gimick to get another 100 dollars of your money. The included “filtration upgrade” does not include a protein skimmer. Additionally, it claims to come with “artificial live rock.” Considering that live rock is rock that has been left in the ocean for a year to collect marine organisms, I don’t undertand how you can have artificial live rock. In addition, it does not come with a protein skimmer which is essential for modern marine aquariums. Additonally, the largest tank listed on their website is 16 gallons. While it is possible to set up a marine tank that small, it should only be attempted by an experienced marine keeper, or someone who can recieve personalized advice from a dealer who specializes in nano tanks.
