ABSTRACT:
An aquarium comprises a container for holding a main body of water, a discrete region of the water being defined as a separate upright column. A submersible pump is positioned within the main body of water for drawing water from that main body and spraying the water onto the top of the discrete region, to aerate the water. An outlet at the base of the column provides circulation of the resulting aerated water down through the column and into the main body of water. The aquarium of the invention allows the surface of the main body of water to be substantially undisturbed thus allowing use of the aquarium as part of a coffee table, for example having a transparent top.
