An aquaponic housing unit fits over standard aftermarket aquariums. The system utilizes the natural symbiotic relationship between fish and plants to achieve adequate filtration for the aquarium below. A large planting container is elevated over the aquarium by two support legs so that the planting container is larger than the aquarium. The support legs can be used to hide wires or control boxes, along with using the legs as storage compartments or additional planting area. An aquarium pump delivers water to the planting container so that fish waste can be used as nutrients for plants in the container. The nitrogen cycle transforms the fish waste into useable nutrients for the plants, thus cleaning the water for the aquarium. The system can be used as a learning tool for students of all ages. It also creates a low maintenance, self-watering and self-fertilizing garden.

Live water solutions containing natural fresh water or saltwater microorganisms, is used in the bio-cycling of aquariums and to provide a healthy aquatic environment.

The invention, which relates to the technical field of intelligent aquariums, discloses a water quality detection and sampling device for an intelligent aquarium life support system. The water qualitydetection and sampling device comprises a trough plate; and the outer side of the trough plate is fixedly connected with a first clamping plate. A moving rod enables a screw to move left and right and thus a first sliding plate is driven to move up and down so as to provide a power source of the follow-up operation. When the first sliding plate moves down, a third sliding plate and a second sliding plate falls in a stepped manner and thus sampling can be carried out on water layers with three depths once; a sample bottle moves down and thus a third gear rotates, so that a second gear rotatesclockwise to enable a cover plate to be far away from a discharge hole of the sample bottle; and after sample injection completion, the sample bottle moves up to enable the cover plate to be close toa water injection hole so as to seal the water injection hole, so that the water injection hole is kept to be in a closed state when the sample bottle moves up and down and the water injection hole isin an opening state when being at a sampling position. Therefore, a phenomenon that shallow water enters the sample bottle in sampling of a deep layer and thus errors of sample detection of the deepwater are caused is avoided.
