Therefore, it is possible to achieve the effect of significantly improving the convenience of maintenance.

In addition, the present invention is provided with a growth means 700 on one side of the main body 100, it will be possible to actively respond to the needs of various demanding consumers who are interested in the aesthetics of the inside of the water tank 400.

Specifically, for example, the present invention is provided with an upper planting port 710 that can be detachably mounted on the upper side, so that the upper planting port 710 includes vines such as Skindapsis or Syngonium, or bulbs such as sweet potatoes or tulips. It has the effect of being able to decorate the appearance of the upper side of the plain water tank 400 splendidly and brightly by establishing a biotop environment in which the sludge introduced into the body 100 is nourished.

In addition, according to the present invention, the body 100 is caught and fixed to the upper edge of the body 100 so as to be able to periodically separate and collect suspended dust or feed residues or feces discharged from aquatic organisms flowing into the body 100. By further providing the mesh 160 built in 100), the slurry containing the feces accumulated in the mesh 160 is periodically removed just by separating the mesh 160 from the main body 100, thereby improving the convenience of water quality management. It has the effect that it can be improved significantly.

As described above, the present invention prevents the generation of strong water flow in the water tank by using air as described above, while collecting and removing various kinds of dust generated due to the feeding and excretion of living organisms in the water tank to maintain a clean water quality. It can be seen that the basic technical idea is to provide a device.

And, within the scope of the basic technical spirit of the present invention, for those of ordinary skill in the industry, the mesh 160 provided with the seating rim 161 is not limited to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and applied, Although not specifically shown, it is also possible to periodically clean the sludge by applying it to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, as well as the mesh 160 instead of the upper planting port 710 among the growing means 700 shown in FIG. Of course, many other modifications and applications are also possible, such as being able to plant and use plants in ).
