The invention relates to a vivarium system which is composed of combinable individual containers (II) and plant climbing aids and is provided with magnetic adhesion to ferromagnetically equipped walls and ceilings (I) having a painted and/or plastered and/or lined surface. Vitalization of inner spaces, facades and free spaces by a module system that can be combined in a variable manner and is composed of small biotopes such as aquariums, terrariums, aviaries, paludariums and other vivariums for small animals, birds, insects and plants, for the fastening to walls and ceilings without causing damage to the visible surfaces by drillings for dowels, pins and screws and without rigid bonds with the fastening base.

A system for storing live seafood, includes: compartments into which the seafood is introduced, a hydraulic circuit to cause water to circulate, an installation for treating the water, characterized in that: the compartments form part of at least one module taking the form of a unit which unit is made of a lightweight material, the water flow generated by the hydraulic circuit enters the compartments via the upstream end and reemerges via the downstream end thereof, the water circulating through the compartments is kept at a temperature of below 25 C.

An aquaponics and greenhouse system, includes a solar greenhouse insulated on north, east and west sides and with glazing on a south side at an angle to maximize winter sunlight, and housing a fish tank, grow beds, and a hard filter. The grow beds and hard filter include geyser pumps in the fish tank powered by air pumps that pump water from the fish tank to the grow bed or hard filter and aerate fish tank water. The hard filter includes algae layer with an air stone powered by an air pump underneath to aerate the algae. Grow beds on the north side have a barrier layer over media, and with a mushroom bulk substrate layer disposed thereover. The air intake of the air pump of the hard filter or the air stone extract CO2 from the mushroom bulk substrate and pump the extracted CO2 to the algae layer.

Devices and methods are disclosed for the housing and maintenance of aquatic, semi-aquatic, and terrestrial organisms. Methods and device can be applied widely in the care and culture of these species and will find wide applicability in the aquaculture industry, aquarium and pet hobby, science instruction and education, environmental screening and toxicity testing, and the education-entertainment field.

An enclosure capable of supporting one or more phyla of living plants and organisms includes various panels that form the enclosure along with at one front door panel movable to provide access to the interior of the enclosure. A water inlet port is arranged in the top assembly. A drainage system is located on the bottom of the enclosure includes a sloped drainage panel, a sump, and a drain tube. The enclosure further includes an air circulation and ventilation system having the upper vent screen and a lower vent screen separable by a circulation distance that generates a chimney effect within the enclosure. The enclosure may also include a microfauna trough on top of the drainage panel.

An aquarium having a compartment for a holding a video device that is viewable through an aquarium tank for conveniently enhancing the viewing experience of the aquarium. The device includes a filtration system that is concealed from the viewer and that filters the water around the video device without exposing the video device to water or any other elements of the aquarium's habitat.

A live organism storage system includes a holding tank configured to hold water and a plurality of live organisms, a water purifier in fluid communication with the holding tank and configured to purify water flowing therethrough, a fractionator in fluid communication with the holding tank, the fractionator configured to gather and remove protein and waste from water flowing therethrough, an oxygenator in fluid communication with the holding tank to increase oxygen content of water flowing therethrough, and a filter in fluid communication with the holding tank and configured to filter water flowing therethrough. The live organism storage system is a closed loop system.

An automated terrarium feeder assembly includes a cover that is longitudinally elongated thereby facilitating the cover to be positioned on top of a terrarium to inhibit a reptile contained in the terrarium from escaping. A feeder is movably integrated into the cover to release a pre-determined amount of the reptile food into the terrarium to feed the reptile while an owner of the reptile is not present for extended periods of time. A heat lamp is integrated into the cover to warm the reptile. A light emitter is integrated into the cover to illuminate the terrarium. A touch screen is attached to the cover and the touch screen is in communication with the feeder for programming operational parameters of the feeder, the heat lamp, the light emitter and the blower.
