Abstract
A device for keeping jellyfish and other plankton in an aquarium having a drain and a pump, the device having a panel; a first sprayer connectable to the pump and coupled to the panel at a first position, the first sprayer having a plurality of channels or holes for generating a plurality of water streams; and a second sprayer connectable to the pump and coupled to the panel at a second position, the second sprayer having a plurality of channels or holes for generating a plurality of water streams; wherein the insert is configured so that the first sprayer and the second sprayer create a rotating current within the aquarium.
Claims19
A device for keeping jellyfish and other plankton in an aquarium having a drain and a pump, the device comprising:
- a substantially L-shaped panel positionable inside the aquarium;
- a first sprayer connectable to the pump and coupled to the panel at a first end position, the first sprayer further comprising a plurality of channels or holes for generating a plurality of water streams;
- and
- a second sprayer connectable to the pump and coupled to the panel at a second opposite end position substantially perpendicular to the first position, the second sprayer further comprising a plurality of channels or holes for generating a plurality of water streams in an upward direction;
- wherein the device is configured so that the first sprayer and the second sprayer create a rotating current within the aquarium sufficient to support jellyfish or other plankton and to move the jellyfish or other plankton away from the drain.
A device for keeping jellyfish and other plankton comprising:
- a water container;
- a drain for removing water from the water container;
- a filter coupled to the drain;
- at least one pump coupled to the filter;
- a substantially L-shaped panel removably positioned in the water container;
- a first sprayer connectable to the at least one pump and coupled to the panel at a first end position, the first sprayer further comprising a plurality of channels or holes for generating a plurality of water streams;
- a second sprayer connectable to the at least one pump and coupled to the panel at a second opposite end position substantially perpendicular to the first position, the second sprayer further comprising a plurality of channels or holes for generating a plurality of water streams in an upward direction;
- wherein the first sprayer and the second sprayer are configured to create a rotating current within the water container sufficient to support jellyfish or other plankton and to move the jellyfish or other plankton away from the drain.
A device for keeping jellyfish and other plankton comprising:
- a substantially rectangular water container;
- a filter box positioned proximal to the water container;
- a drain for removing water from the water container and into the filter box;
- a filter positioned in the filter box;
- at least one pump positioned in the filter box;
- a return line coupled to the at least one pump for moving water from the filter box to the water container;
- a substantially L-shaped panel removably positioned in the water container;
- a first sprayer removably coupled to the return line and coupled to the panel at a first end position, the first sprayer further comprising a plurality of substantially parallel, elongated channels for generating a plurality of substantially parallel water streams;
- a second sprayer removably coupled to the return line and coupled to the panel at a second opposite end position substantially perpendicular to the first position, the second sprayer further comprising a plurality of substantially parallel, elongated channels or holes for generating a plurality of substantially parallel water streams in an upward direction;
- wherein the first sprayer and the second sprayer are configured to create a rotating current within the water container sufficient to support jellyfish or other plankton and to move the jellyfish or other plankton away from the drain.
The device of 14 further comprising a first adjustable valve between the first sprayer and the pump and a second adjustable valve between the second sprayer and the pump.
