Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a purification device 10 for a fish and vegetable symbiosis system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is connected between a planting pot 12 and a culture tank 14, and the three are combined to form a a fish and vegetable symbiosis system, the planting pot 12 and the breeding tank 14 are respectively for growing vegetables and fish therein, and the purifying device 10 comprises an outer tube 20, a drainage chamber 30, a connecting tube 40, and a net. 50 and microbial attachment medium 60.

The top end of the outer tube 20 has a water injection port 22.

The drain chamber 30 is disposed inside the outer tube 20, and has a plurality of perforations 32 communicating with the inside and outside of the drain chamber 30.

The communication tube 40 extends from the inside of the drainage chamber 30 to the outside of the outer tube 20. The communication tube 40 has an opening 42 at one end of the drainage chamber 30. The height of the opening 42 is higher than the perforation of the drainage chamber 30. 32. The other end of the communication tube 40 extends into the culture tank 14 and extends below the level of the water level inside the culture tank 14.

The spacer 50 is disposed inside the outer tube 20 and is located outside the drainage chamber 30 and has a height lower than the through hole 32 of the drainage chamber 30.

The microbial attachment medium 60 is disposed inside the outer tube 20 and is located outside the drainage chamber 30. The microbial attachment medium 60 includes a plurality of first filter materials 62 and a plurality of second filter materials 64. The first filter materials 62 Is located on the top side of the screen 50, the second filter material 64 is located on the bottom side of the screen 50; the first and second filter materials 62, 64 are granular, and the surface is rough, and the first The particle size of the filter material 62 is greater than the second filter material 64. The first filter material 62 is attached to the nitrifying bacteria, and the second filter material 64 is attached to the denitrifying bacteria.

The height of the purification device 10 is higher than the culture tank 14, so that once the circulating water enters The communication tube 40 entering the purification device 10 can be naturally guided to the culture tank 14; then, the internal circulating water of the culture tank 14 is guided to the planting pot 12, and then enters the purification device 10, and repeatedly Circulating flow; further, between the culture tank 14 and the planting pot 12, and between the planting pot 12 and the purification device 10, a pumping motor (not shown) may be selectively provided to provide the power required for the flow.

Through the above structure, please refer to FIG. 2, as the circulating water flows into the purification device 10 In the outer tube 20, the water level inside the outer tube 20 will gradually rise, and part of the circulating water will enter the drain chamber 30 through the perforations 32 of the drain chamber 30, causing the liquid level inside and outside the drain chamber 30 to gradually rise.
