The present invention is directed to a first farming plant including a central tank and one or more surrounding tanks, where the central tank is used for water treatment and the one or more surrounding tanks are used for the farming of fish. The fish farming plan may also include one or more flow applicators, whereby the flow rate of the water in the surrounding tanks are individually independent of the water exchange rate. The fish farming plant may include several movable permeable section walls in each of the surrounding tanks dividing each surrounding tank into tank sections. Each surrounding tank is equipped with one or more outlets and one or two inlets, and a substantially horizontal/laminar flow structure of the water in each one of the surrounding tanks is provided.

A system of decorating a housing that includes a base and a plurality of decorative elements. The decorative elements are irremovably disposed on or partially in the base. The width and depth of the base is less than or equal to the width and depth of the bottom inner surface dimensions of the housing such that the bottom inner surface area of the housing is entirely covered by one or more bases.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to mollusk with fluorescent coatings. Also disclosed are aquarium kits comprising a tank, mollusk and an excitation light source.

The present invention is directed to a first farming plant including a central tank and one or more surrounding tanks, where the central tank is used for water treatment and the one or more surrounding tanks are used for the farming of fish. The fish farming plan may also include one or more flow applicators, whereby the flow rate of the water in the surrounding tanks are individually independent of the water exchange rate.

Each surrounding tank is equipped with one or more outlets and one or two inlets, and a substantially horizontal/laminar flow structure of the water in each one of the surrounding tanks is provided.

Provided is a system for centralized water monitoring of a fish farm. the system including a plurality of fish tanks divided into a first and a second subgroup; and a first sample conduit only connected to the first of the subgroups through a first set of pipe connections, and a second sample conduit connected only to the second of the subgroups through a second set of pipe connections; each one of the pipe connections being connected to only one fish tank; the pipe connections being configured for water sampling from a selected fish tank of the first subgroup into the first sample conduit and from a selected fish tank from the second subgroup into the second sample conduit. Water samples are received by a first and second sensor system from the first and second sample conduits for simultaneous measurements of the samples by the sensor system.

Novelty covers for a tank including tank walls defining a tank perimeter, the novelty cover including a plurality of panels interconnected to define a frame surrounding a void and defining a frame perimeter, the frame perimeter being complementarily configured with the tank perimeter, wherein each of the panels in the plurality of panels includes an exterior surface with ornamentation the frame is configured to receive the tank in the void, and the ornamentation on the exterior surface of the panels forms a cohesive ornamental scene when the panels are interconnected to define the frame.

An aquarium includes a container defining a perimeter and an aquarium space, a filter space arranged to receive a fluid, and a filter holder coupled to the container. The filter holder defines the filter space and is operable to direct the fluid from the filter space into the container. A pump operates to draw the fluid from the container and a spout is coupled to the pump to selectively receive the fluid. The spout includes a first leg that extends along a first axis and a second leg that extends along a second axis and defines an outlet, The spout is movable along the first axis between an on position in which fluid from the pump flows through the spout and is discharged through the outlet and an off position in which no fluid flows through the spout.

An example aquatic imaging system comprises a light source, a first platform coupled with a image capture device and a second platform that is parallel to the platform, the image capture device having a first field of view, and, the second platform being coupled to a organism tank, first organism tank having an inner wall, outer wall and a base that defines a well capable of retaining water, the base being parallel to the second platform, the organism tank configured to receive a light beam originating from the light source and configured to project at least a portion of the light beam through the well and in a directional plane that is parallel to the base, the image capture device configured to direct the first field of view from the first platform through the well in the organism tank.

In general, an enclosure is disclosed that includes a basin for storing water and an insert configured to be removably disposed within the basin and provide dry and wet sections that define a habitat for one or more amphibians and/or reptiles. Preferably, the insert includes an integrated filter arrangement that can be removed together, e.g., as a single unit, from the basin when cleaning is desired. More preferably, the insert includes a plurality of openings to allow water to drain via gravity into the basin as a user “pulls” the insert from the same. Accordingly, a user may then remove the insert from the basin without necessarily removing creatures from within the insert, and more importantly, from the habitat provided by the same.

A novelty pet bed includes a plurality of side panels and a bottom panel interconnected to define a pet bed frame surrounding a void, The novelty pet bed supports and retains plush pet bed. One or more of the side panels defines a window, wherein a pet enters the novelty pet bed through the window.
