In home environments or in offices and other places, people often have aquariums and ornamental fish. They are not only beautiful, but also can be soothed by washing the fish tank and feeding. For most people, most of them are in a limited space, using a smaller aquarium to raise aquarium and / or aquatic plants to achieve the effect of space beautification and personal pressure relief.

Since the water in the smaller aquarium is static and non-flowing, it is only suitable for breeding a small amount of fish, and it is necessary to clean the aquarium and change the water frequently to provide an environment suitable for fish survival, and sometimes it needs to be installed. The gas supply can provide enough oxygen for the fish that live in it.

In order to overcome the above situation, a water pumping device can be installed in the aquarium, which can generate water flow in the aquarium, so that the aquarium is more active, and other functions can be achieved by proper assembly of other related equipment.
