The primary inspection opening 150 and the secondary inspection opening 152 are normally closed and open when water is discharged to the outside to clean the inside of the aquarium. When the primary inspection opening 150 and the secondary inspection opening 152 are opened, water in the aquarium is introduced through the primary inspection opening 150 and the secondary inspection opening 152 and discharged to the outside by the circulation pump 180.

The bubble generator 160 generates bubbles by being positioned on the bottom surface 122 of the aquarium 120, and the pollutants deposited on the bottom of the aquarium 120 are suspended by the bubbles generated in this way.

Circulating pump 180 is located outside the tertiary filter 170, the water in the aquarium 120, the primary filter 130, secondary filter 140, tertiary filter 170 and the fourth filter 190 ) In order to form a circulation of water in a counterclockwise direction as a whole. The circulation pump 180 may be located inside the tertiary filter 170 but may be located between the tertiary filter 170 and the fourth filter 190, which is when the circulation pump 180 is idling. This is to prevent idling by opening the check pipe 172 on the tertiary filter 170 and supplying water to the circulation pump 180.

Water passing through the circulation pump 180 is supplied to the fourth filter 190 via the vertical connecting pipe 182. One end of the vertical connection pipe 190 connected to the fourth filter 190 is configured to be rotatable. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, when the vertical connection pipe 182 is directed toward the outside of the aquarium 120 in the opposite direction, water does not flow into the fourth filter 190 but is discharged to the outside of the aquarium 120. It becomes possible. Therefore, the aquarium 100 having the multi-stage filter according to the present embodiment is to be able to easily discharge the water in the aquarium by the circulation pump 180.

The fourth filter 190 is located on the surface of the water and filters the water introduced through the vertical connection pipe 182 to fall on the surface of the water. A filter medium or a filtration pad (not shown) is inserted into the fourth filter 190, and such a filtration pad may be replaced at any time. It is supposed to be. And the water from the fourth filter 190 falls to the water surface, thereby supplying oxygen into the water. In addition, the pH of the water may be adjusted according to the type of filter medium in the fourth filter 190. For example, if you want to raise the aquarium fish that likes the case that the water in the aquarium 120 is acidic ocher sand can be used as the filter medium of the fourth filter 190, if you want to raise the aquarium fish like alkaline water Coral sand can be used as the filter medium.

Water dropped from the fourth filter 190 flows in the direction of the arrow by the circulation of the water by the circulation pump 180 and flows back into the primary filter 130. As such, the aquarium 100 having the multi-stage filter according to the present exemplary embodiment may include a primary filter 130, a secondary filter 140, a tertiary filter 170, and a fourth filter by the operation of the circulation pump 180. Since the water circulates sequentially through the 190, water can be kept clean at all times. Since the filtration is also performed by the check pipes 142 formed on the secondary filter 140 and the auxiliary filters 144 and 174 provided on the check pipe 172 formed on the tertiary filter 170, the ornamental fish live. It is possible to maintain the proper water quality at all times.

An auxiliary bucket 220 is provided at the top of the aquarium 120. The auxiliary bucket 220 operates when the water in the aquarium 120 is insufficient to supply water to the inside of the aquarium 120. Since the ball top 222 is coupled to the auxiliary bucket 220, when the water is lowered due to lack of water in the aquarium 120, the ball tower 222 operates to allow the water inside the auxiliary bucket 220 to reach the aquarium 120. Allow it to enter inside.
