A mobile treatment system having a mobile or wheelable container able to receive a secondary volume of water separate from the primary volume of water of the aquarium; a pump mountable to a portion of the mobile container, a first Inlet of the pump able to draw water from a portion of the mobile container, a first outlet of the pump connectable for selectively directing water drawn into the first Inlet back into the mobile container after conditioning of the water, a second inlet able to draw conditioned water from a portion of the mobile container having the conditioned water; a second outlet allowing transfer of the conditioned water from the mobile container to the aquarium, wherein the water is conditioned in the secondary volume of the mobile container at a position remote to the aquarium.

A system, method, and computer program product for an aquaponics, and greenhouse system, includes a solar greenhouse with north, east and west sides insulted and with glazing on a south side angled to maximize winter sunlight, and housing a fish tank with grow beds, and a hard filter filtering water from the fish tank coupled thereto, and including a stilling well inside of a solids collection chamber receiving water from a hard filter geyser pump, and with filter media sections of varying coarseness for providing mechanical filtration therearound, including coarser and finer media section from a bottom to a top of the solids collection chamber, a with air stones on top, and with aquatic plants including algae, and/or Duckweed, providing biological filtration growing on a water surface thereabove. A sponge filter receives overflow water from the aquatic plants and with an output thereof provided to the fish tank.

Light, heat, gas exchange, and water motion are all required elements to sustain aquatic photosynthetic organisms. Rather than providing separate systems, a flux of photons appropriate for photosynthetic organisms, including algae, is dispersed throughout the surrounding water. A gas source performs water movement and circulation by acting as an airlift pump while performing a liquid-gas mass transfer. Finally, heat is added to the surrounding liquid by a heat source or the light source, which increases the rate at which microorganisms grow and improve efficiencies. By combining these necessary components for aquatic life support, efficiencies are increased, costs are saved, and photosynthetic organism growth is regulated.

A back panel assembly for an aquarium has a housing with a dependent lip having connecting structure permitting the housing to be removably attached to an aquarium; and a cartridge holder removably positioned in the housing. The cartridge holder holds filter cartridges, each cartridge being the same size.

An aquaculture system including a fish holding unit which is fluidly connected to a water recirculation conduit, a water treatment unit, a water inlet, and a feed storage unit. The system further includes a feed loading section. When feed is added into the system at the feed loading section the feed is transported to the fish holding unit. In another aspect the invention relates to a method of transporting a feed in a recirculated aquaculture system.

The invention features a bioreactor for the growth of macroalgae and methods for using the bioreactor to maintain optimal nutrient levels for the organisms in an aquarium or aquaculture system. The devices and methods of the invention provide for the bioremediation of excess nutrients in order to maintain nutrient balance in an aquarium or aquaculture system that facilitates growth and/or health of one or more of the organisms that reside therein.

A system, method, and computer program product for an aquaponics, and greenhouse system, including 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 coupled to the fish tank; and hydroponic tanks respectively coupled to the grow beds. The grow beds are coupled to a fish tank geyser pump internal to the fish tank, and a hydroponic tank geyser pump internal to a respective one of the hydroponic tanks. The fish tank and hydroponic tank geyser pumps are powered by an external air pump via an air selector switch to pump and aerate water from the hydroponic tank to the grow bed and to pump water from the fish tank to the grow bed and aerate water of the fish tank.

A peltier device comprises peltier elements specified in cooling or heating temperature, a heating heat sink connected in contact on one side surface of the peltier element, a chilling heat sink connected in contact on the other side surface of the peltier element, and a cooling fan. Using peltier elements each of which is specified in a cooling or a heating activity, a heat exchange efficiency is enhanced thank to a plurality of functions of a single peltier element; thermal radiation is separated by bringing the peltier element into contact with a heating heat sink and a cooling heat sink independently from each other; the surface area in contact with the fluid is maximized through the X shaped aperture formed with four wings protruding from the inner surface of the aperture towards the center part, directly transferring the endothermic and exothermic effects from the Peltier element to the fluid.

An aquarium system for all-around viewing has a tank enclosure formed by optically transparent sides and a bottom plane, a sunken chamber below the tank for circulating water from and into the tank by a water circulation pump, water circulation outlet and inlet risers for circulating water flow from the tank into the sunken chamber and back into the tank, and a base on which the tank and sunken chamber are seated for containing electrical components for the aquarium system. The sunken chamber may be immersed within an outer pool of water to give the appearance of the tank enclosure floating on water. The base may hold various electrical and mechanical components for microclimate simulation, including magnetic induction drive for the water circulation pump and other motorized components; water spray pump to simulate rain; cooling pad; heating pad; temperature sensors; audio speakers; lighting controller; fog dispenser; and microprocessor for programmed control of desired microclimate simulations.

The reptile lighting assembly for UVB and basking requirements is a device that is adapted to attach onto a UVB light subsassembly, and is also able to plug into an existing wiring system associated with said UVB light subassembly. The reptile lighting assembly includes an elongated bracket that is adapted to clip onto the UVB light subassembly. The elongated bracket includes at least one clip member that is adapted to clip onto opposing surfaces of the UVB light subassembly. The elongated bracket includes a basking light socket on a distal end of a first surface of the elongated bracket. A basking lamp is able to plug into the basking light socket, and is able to direct a different type of light than compared to the UVB light subassembly.
