[0002] An aquarium is a glass container used to keep tropical fish or goldfish for ornamental purposes. It is a container specifically designed for keeping aquatic plants and animals, serving as an animal enclosure, and typically has at least one side made of transparent glass and high-strength plastic.

[0003] Existing aquarium water circulation systems use a power device (such as a water pump) to drive the water circulation within the aquarium. The water pump acts like a heart, drawing water from one location within the aquarium and then filtering and transporting it to other locations through pipes and other delivery systems, ensuring continuous water flow within the aquarium. However, water pumps are typically located directly at the bottom of the aquarium. When small fish swim near the pump, they may be sucked into the pump due to its suction, potentially leading to injury or even death. Additionally, the structure of the circulation system is usually exposed to the outside, affecting the aquarium's aesthetics.

[0004] Therefore, a water circulation device for aquariums is proposed. Utility Model Content

The water pipe 302 passes through the connecting hole 502. A baffle 4 covers the outside of the submersible pump 301. The counterweight 13 ensures that the baffle 4 is stably placed at the bottom of the water tank 1. The opening 501 allows water from the water tank 1 to enter the baffle 4. The adjusting component 6 on the baffle 4 can move the stop block 7 up and down, thereby adjusting the opening height at the opening 501. Tightening the threaded rod 602 causes it to move on the horizontal block 601, which in turn drives the connector 604 to move the stop block 7 up and down with the help of the limiting rod 603. At this time, the opening height of the opening 501 is adjusted according to the size of the fish in the water tank 1, so that the fish cannot swim into the inside of the barrier cover 4. The component 9 is set on the connecting box 8, and the placement frame 901 is hung in the connecting box 8 through the hanging block 902. The gravel layer 10 on the placement frame 901 can be used to plant hydroponic plants. At the same time, the drain hole 903 allows water to pass through the placement frame 901. Then the water passes through the biochemical cotton layer 11 in the connecting box 8 for filtration. The biochemical cotton layer 11 filters metabolic impurities in the water. The filtered water flows outward in a waterfall shape into the interior of the water tank 1 through the outlet 12. The placement component 9 can be removed from the connecting box 8, and the biochemical cotton layer 11 can be replaced.
