• (a) a water draining tube adapted to be positioned at one end of the aquarium, the water draining tube having a first and a second end, the first end being connected to a first horizontal tube adapted to be positioned in proximity to the base of the aquarium, and the second end being connected to a first filtration chamber, wherein the first horizontal tube is sized to fit along at least one edge of the aquarium and has multiple openings spaced thereon;
• (b) a final filtration chamber connected in series to the first filtration chamber;
• (c) a pump connected to the final filtration chamber, the pump being located, in a direction of water flow, after the final filtration chamber;
• and
• (d) a water flushing tube adapted to be positioned at an opposing end of the aquarium, the water flushing tube having a first and a second end, the first end being connected to the pump and the second end being connected to a second horizontal tube adapted to be positioned in proximity to the base of the aquarium, the second horizontal tube being sized to fit along at least one edge of the aquarium and having multiple openings spaced thereon.

A method for maintaining water quality in an aquarium, comprising:

• (a) providing a water draining tube at one end of the aquarium, the water draining tube having a first and a second end, the first end having an opening adapted to be positioned in proximity to the base of the aquarium, and the second end being connected to a first filtration chamber;
• (b) providing a final filtration chamber connected in series to the first filtration chamber;
• (c) providing a pump connected to the final filtration chamber, the pump being located, in a direction of water flow, after the final filtration chamber;
• (d) providing a water flushing tube positioned at an opposing end of the aquarium, the water flushing tube having a first and a second end, the first end being connected to the pump and the second end having an opening adapted to be positioned in proximity to the base of the aquarium;
• (e) draining water from the aquarium through the water draining tube and passing the water through the first and final filtration chambers, whereby debris is removed from the water to provide filtered water;
• and
• (f) flushing the filtered water through the water flushing tube, whereby debris accumulated on the bottom of the aquarium is pushed towards the water draining tube.
