BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an overflow cover for a seawater circulation type aquarium,

The present invention relates to an overflow drainage cover for a seawater circulation sump type aquarium, and more particularly, to an overflow drainage cover for a seawater circulation sump type aquarium, and more particularly to an overflow drainage cover for a seawater circulation sump type aquarium, The present invention relates to an overflow drainage cover for an aquarium circulating sump type aquarium circulation system which improves the structure of the cover and induces the upper water of the seawater filled in the water tank and the lower layer water to be evenly discharged.

In general, aquariums are aquatic animals that live in the water, so they can be viewed ornamental, and there is a sea water aquarium that contains seawater, especially for breeding various species living in the sea.

Early aquariums were displayed in simple or separated form, but current aquariums are displaying various ecological environments to show the vividness of the sea.

Materials used in the inside or outside environment of these tanks also express the environment artificially as part of environmental protection. New materials and materials make it possible to create a realistic ecological environment. In particular, water tanks can be classified according to installation, tubular type, and scale. When designing water tanks, attention should be paid to safety, water tightness, rust prevention, water temperature maintenance, water quality preservation, lighting and water treatment. Other factors such as water pressure, seawater, load when large fish hit, waterproofing materials and finishing materials considering water tank size and material, water pressure, and selection of materials for lethal toxicity and corrosion prevention to fish are also factors to consider.

In recent years, various species have attracted attention for exhibition and ornamental use. In order to grow such a variety of species, it is necessary to create an optimum environment for growth of each species, and various functional tanks appear .

In order to create the optimum growth environment, it is necessary to create various environments according to the characteristics of various fish species. However, regardless of the fish species, various kinds of harmful substances such as food waste, excrement, It is essential that a system capable of filtering the data is provided.

Open No. 10-2013-0018637 has been proposed as an example of such a foreign matter removal system for waterproofing. The present invention relates to a water removal tank for a water tank and a water circulation system using the water removal tank, and more particularly, to a sump tank for purifying contaminated water by receiving it. An inlet is formed at an upper end of one surface of the sump tank so that purified water can be supplied from the sump tank, a first outlet is provided at a position corresponding to the inlet so that contaminated water can be discharged to the sump tank, A main water tank having a second outlet at a position higher than the first outlet; And a foreign matter removing part detachably mounted on the first outlet; . According to this structure, since the foreign matter removing piece detachably mounted on the first discharge port is used, an overflow portion for discharging the contaminated water in the water tank to the sump tank is generally not required, but the first and second discharge ports The first outlet and the second outlet must be formed to have a height difference.
