Abstract

The present invention relates to a skimmer for an aquarium. The skimmer includes an air controlling valve of which one side is joined with an air hose and the other side is joined with an air injection pipe to adjust an amount of bubbles and a water level in a venturi pipe; a variable rack; and additionally a T pipe, which is in the shape of ′T′, is diagonally cut, and is joined with a bubble discharging pipe on a cover of an impurity container. The variable rack is integrated with a band, which covers an outer circumferential side of the venturi pipe and is joined with the venture pipe, and a hook to be hung on an upper portion of a side of the aquarium. The variable rack includes a hose aligning part, which is formed to be integrated into a side of the band, allows an air supplying pipe and the bubble discharging pipe to pass therein, and organizes the air supplying pipe and the bubble discharging pipe; and a water level adjusting groove formed in the shape of a horizontal and rectangular strip on a lower side of the hose aligning part. Therefore, factors of water pollution such as suspended solids, dissolved organic materials, feces of fish, and protein in water, which are generated in the aquarium, are discharged with bubbles to the outside by oxygen supplied to the inside of the venture pipe through the air supplying pipe. Consequently, water in the aquarium can be purified; and oxygen can be supplied to fish in the aquarium.

Description

The skimmer for the aquarium}

The present invention relates to a skimmer for an aquarium, and more particularly, to a skimmer for an aquarium, and more particularly, to a skimmer for an aquarium, which supplies oxygen to the inside of a venturi tube through an air supply pipe, It is possible not only to purify the water but also to supply oxygen to the fish as well as to control the amount of bubbles caused by the amount of organic matter due to the fluctuation of the water level of the aquarium The present invention relates to a skimmer for an aquarium which is excellent in the ability to clean actively and easily in response to an occurrence situation.

Recently, rearing of sea water, freshwater fish and coral has been popular for the purpose of coronary aquaculture. There are a lot of foreign substances such as floating matters, dissolved organic matter, and fish excrement in the aquarium, , The dissolved oxygen of the fresh water is depleted and the decomposition substances such as nitrate ion and ammonium ion are increased and the toxin is gradually activated to the live fish.

In addition, the deterioration of seawater due to the increase of nutrients causes a sudden increase of various bacteria, which causes the fish to be killed.

In particular, seaweeds are always faced with dehydration symptoms. Therefore, seaweeds drink seawater and absorb moisture and salts from the walls of digestive tracts. Then, only salt is released from the kidneys and gills through the blood to maintain moisture in the body have. It is easy to breed germs because there are more salts than fresh water in seawater, and disease development and simultaneous oxygen deficiency occur due to abnormal reproduction.

Therefore, it is necessary to completely replace the water inside the aquarium or to keep the inside of the aquarium clean at all times so that the quality of the aquarium can be maintained clean. It is difficult to replace the water in the aquarium frequently and troublesome.

As a solution to this problem, a skimmer for an aquarium is used.

The aquarium skimmer functions to stabilize the water quality by causing the water in the aquarium to be deteriorated by the floating matter, the dissolved organic matter, and the live fish excrement and the protein present in the water together with the foam.

In the operation of the conventional skimmer for the aquarium, as described above, the water continuously flows into the aquarium through the pipe or pipe, air is injected into the skimmer, and fine air bubbles are continuously introduced into the skimmer body by the micro- As a result, the water in the aquarium circulates inside the skimmer, adhering substances that have polarity to the air bubbles, and the proteins, fats and various organic substances dissolved in the aquarium are entangled by the surface tension. It collects and collects and produces a bubble that is good and is discharged to the outside.

However, it is a reality that domestic skill development for such a skimmer is insufficient and rely on foreign advanced products.

However, since imported products are expensive, it is difficult to expand the bottom side, the purification ability is low, and usually there is a problem that a separate air generator is required to be used.

Therefore, there is a desperate need to develop a skimmer for an aquarium that can actively cope with water quality fluctuation and water level fluctuation and organic matter amount.
