ABSTRACT:
An aquarium water flow control device for receiving a flow of aquarium water from an aquarium and for controlling a flow of aquarium water thereafter from said aquarium water flow control device is provided. The device comprises an outlet capable of allowing the aquarium water to flow therethrough and a tube having an end positioned proximate to the outlet. The tube extends in a substantially upward direction and is capable of supplying air to the outlet when the outlet is covered with aquarium water and while the aquarium water is flowing through the outlet. The outlet is connectable to a hose leading to an aquarium water filtering device which is capable of extracting the aquarium water and air from the tube through the outlet. The aquarium water flow control device also includes a wall which divides the aquarium water flow control device into a first section and a second section. Flow of aquarium water from the aquarium is flowable into the first section, over the wall, and to the second section where the outlet is located. Preferably, the aquarium water flow control device is rectangular in configuration, and preferably the aquarium water flows into the first section from a box insertable inside the aquarium where the box includes one or more longitudinal slits through which the aquarium water flows.
