Abstract
An apparatus includes a waste-movement system having a bed-support assembly configured to receive, contain and support an aquarium bed of an aquarium. A vibration-source assembly is configured to be positioned relative to the bed-support assembly. The vibration-source assembly is also configured to selectively generate and transmit vibrational energy to the aquarium bed while the aquarium water is made to flow. This is done in such a way that the gravel of the aquarium bed becomes, at least in part, spaced apart (at least in part) from one another; and the aquarium water, at least in part, moves (at least in part) the liquefied waste and the solid waste through the aquarium bed from a first interior section to a second interior section of the aquarium.
Claims19
An apparatus, comprising:
- a waste-movement system, including:
- a bed-support assembly being configured to receive, contain and support an aquarium bed of an aquarium;
- and
- a vibration-source assembly being configured to be positioned relative to the bed-support assembly, and the vibration-source assembly also being configured to selectively generate and transmit vibrational energy to the aquarium bed while aquarium water contained in the aquarium is made to flow in such a way that:
- gravel, contained in the aquarium bed, becomes spaced apart, at least in part, from one another;
- and
- the aquarium water moves, at least in part, liquefied waste and solid waste through the aquarium bed from a first interior section to a second interior section of the aquarium.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a waste-movement system, including:
- a bed-support assembly being configured to be inserted into, and removable from, an aquarium, in which the aquarium is configured to contain aquarium water, liquefied waste and solid waste, and the bed-support assembly also being configured to be positioned between a first interior section and a second interior section of the aquarium, and the bed-support assembly also being configured to receive, contain and support an aquarium bed, in which the aquarium bed includes gravel;
- and
- a vibration-source assembly being configured to be positioned relative to the bed-support assembly containing the aquarium bed, and the vibration-source assembly also being configured to selectively generate and transmit vibrational energy to the aquarium bed while the aquarium water is made to flow from the first interior section to the second interior section of the aquarium in such a way that:
- the gravel of the aquarium bed becomes, at least in part, spaced apart, at least in part, from one another;
- and
- the aquarium water moves, at least in part, the liquefied waste and the solid waste through the aquarium bed from the first interior section to the second interior section of the aquarium.
