ABSTRACT:
An aquarium for housing fish and other aquatic life if formed within a pyramidal housing. The upper portion of the housing is formed of transparent triangular walls which enclose the water for the fish while permitting viewing of the fish. The lower portion of the housing serves as a base for supporting the water, and includes a drawer which holds filtration, heating and aeration equipment while permitting ready access for servicing of the equipment. Lighting is provided by an internal pyramidal light situated at the apex of the housing within the walls, the location permitting lighting of the entire water surface without any significant heating of the walls. All plumbing connections for treatment of the water are made through the floor of the chamber holding the water, thereby avoiding the presence of unsightly hoses and tubing. By the placing of the filtering equipment below the water chamber, the filtering system is able to self-prime, thereby eliminating the process of siphoning in the caring of the aquarium.
