Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of home aquaculture, specifically relating to an ecological fence and an ecological fish tank suitable for home aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] There are some pressing issues to be addressed in home aquarium keeping. On the one hand, if fish waste such as excrement is not disposed of promptly, it will lead to water quality deterioration. In order to maintain the water quality in the aquarium, keepers need to change the water frequently. This not only increases the workload of keepers, but may also have adverse effects on the fish due to environmental changes during the water change process.

[0003] On the other hand, traditional aquariums have low space utilization efficiency, typically used only for fish farming. This is because fish often eat the planted landscaping plants or algae, disrupting the growth environment for fungi and failing to fully utilize the space within the aquarium to build a more complete ecosystem. Moreover, traditional aquariums lack proper guidance and utilization for algae and fungal growth. Uncontrolled algae growth can affect the aesthetics of the aquarium and water quality, while the role of fungi is not effectively realized.

[0004] Existing aquarium structures are insufficient in achieving symbiotic relationships between fish and other organisms, making it difficult to form a self-sustaining, virtuous cycle ecosystem. This results in high maintenance costs and greater difficulty in raising fish. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel home ecological grid and ecological fish tank. Through innovative structural design, it constructs an ecosystem in which fish, algae, and fungi coexist, effectively solving problems such as difficulty in maintaining water quality and low space utilization in home fish tank breeding. It reduces the frequency of water changes, lowers the workload of breeders, and improves the convenience and ecological benefits of home breeding.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this novel household ecological fence and ecological fish tank are implemented using the following technical solution: A novel ecological fence is designed, comprising a baffle that divides the fish tank into upper and lower spaces. The baffle has multiple evenly distributed perforations. The ecological fence is positioned in the middle of the fish tank, dividing the water into upper and lower layers. The upper space is used for raising fish, and the lower space is used for cultivating algae and fungi. The baffle also has multiple evenly distributed through holes, each with internal threads or snap-fits for connecting and fixing a planting trough. The planting trough has a cup body, a trough body, and a lower opening. The diameter of the cup body is 2-3 times the diameter of the trough body, and the lower opening has external threads matching the internal threads or a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the leak is a narrow, elongated leak with an aspect ratio greater than 10, and its cross-section is trapezoidal.

[0008] Furthermore, multiple evenly distributed hooks and support legs are installed under the baffle. Shell strings or bacterial houses are hung under the hooks, while the support legs are used to maintain the stability of the ecological fence.

[0009] Furthermore, a filter screen is installed at the lower slot.

[0010] Furthermore, both the baffles and the planting troughs are made of transparent plastic. Beneficial effects

[0011] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel household ecological fence and ecological fish tank, which effectively solves problems such as difficulty in maintaining water quality and low space utilization in household fish tank breeding.

[0012] This novel system achieves a virtuous cycle of the ecosystem through an ecological grid. Fish excrement from the upper layer falls through the perforations of the grid into the lower layer, becoming natural fertilizer for algae and bacteria. Algae grow through photosynthesis, releasing oxygen, some of which dissolves into the water, increasing the dissolved oxygen level in the upper layer. Bacteria multiply on the surface of the bio-house, converting harmful substances from fish excrement into nutrients that can be absorbed by the algae, forming a virtuous ecological cycle of "fish excretion - bacterial decomposition - algae absorption - water purification." Furthermore, the ecological grid divides the aquarium into upper and lower functional zones, changing the traditional single-space aquarium model and achieving a vertical ecological layout of "cultivation and breeding," making full use of the aquarium space and improving space utilization. The lower cultivation zone can be planted with ornamental algae or aquatic plants, combined with decorations such as seashells and driftwood to create a three-dimensional landscape. Meanwhile, the transparent plastic baffles and planting troughs facilitate observation of the lower ecosystem's operation, making the entire aquarium both ecologically functional and aesthetically pleasing.

[0015] The following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the present invention, along with the included examples, will make the content of the present invention more readily understood. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. In case of any conflict, the definitions in this specification shall prevail.

[0016] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection" and "joint" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0017] Example 1: Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides an ecological fence suitable for home aquaculture. The ecological fence includes a baffle that divides the fish tank into upper and lower spaces. It is made of transparent plastic, square or round, and its size is adapted to various fish tank sizes, including ceramic tanks and glass tanks.

[0018] The baffle has multiple 1-leaking holes evenly distributed on it, and multiple through holes are also evenly arranged on it. The through holes are provided with internal threads for connecting and fixing 2-planting troughs.

[0019] The baffle and planting trough 2 are made of transparent plastic to facilitate light penetration into the tank and allow people to observe the fish. To maintain the stability of the baffle, the positions of the drainage holes 1 and planting trough 2 on the baffle must be symmetrical with respect to the center of the baffle.

[0020] Example 2 Please see Figure 2 The drain hole is a narrow, elongated hole with an aspect ratio greater than 10 and a trapezoidal cross-section. Fish feces are generally long and thin, while fish feed is generally round. Therefore, the narrow, elongated hole allows fish feces to pass through but blocks the passage of fish feed. In this embodiment, the length of the drain hole can be set to 20 mm, the width to 1.5 mm, the aspect ratio to 13:1, and the upper base width of the trapezoidal cross-section to be 3 mm and the lower base width to be 1.5 mm.

[0021] Fish waste can fall from the upper layer into the lower layer through the perforations in the ecological barrier, becoming fertilizer for algae and bacteria. The growth of algae and bacteria purifies the water, reducing the frequency of water changes. Simultaneously, the growing algae can also enter the upper layer to become food for the fish.

[0022] Example 3 Please see Figure 3 The planting trough has a cup body (21), a trough body (22), and a lower opening (23). The cup body (21) has a diameter of 6 cm, the trough body (22) has a diameter of 2.5 cm, and the cup body (23) has a diameter 2.4 times that of the trough body. The lower opening has an external thread that matches the internal thread of the through hole of the baffle. The lower opening can also be engaged with the baffle. Specifically, the through hole on the baffle is slightly larger than the lower opening. The through hole is heated, and the lower opening is forced into the through hole by external force.

[0023] A filter screen is installed at the bottom of the planting trough to prevent the substrate in the planting trough from falling into the lower space.

[0024] Example 4 Please see Figure 3 The baffle has multiple evenly distributed 3-hooks underneath, which can be used to hang strings of seashells or bio-balls to promote the growth of algae and bacteria and optimize the aquatic environment. Because plastic generally has a low density, hanging seashells or bio-balls under the 3-hooks allows the baffle to sink stably in the water as a whole.

[0025] Example 5 Several four-legged supports are also installed under the baffle to support it and keep it stable in the aquarium. Some rectangular or square aquariums without side walls or slope require support legs to fix the baffle in the middle of the aquarium.

[0026] The foregoing examples are merely illustrative, used to explain some features of the method of this utility model. The appended claims are intended to claim the broadest possible scope, and the embodiments presented herein are merely illustrative of selected implementations based on combinations of all possible embodiments. Therefore, the applicant intends that the appended claims are not limited by the selection of examples illustrating the features of this utility model. Some numerical ranges used in the claims also include sub-ranges within them, and variations within these ranges should also be interpreted as being covered by the appended claims where possible.
