ABSTRACT:
A manifold for use in aerating and circulating the aquarium water is composed of a main tube, at least one bypass tube extending from the main tube, and at least one aerating tube extending from the bypass tube such that the aerating tube is parallel to the main tube and that the top end of the aerating tube is in contact with atmospheric air and further that the bottom end of the aerating tube is submerged in the aquarium water. The main tube has a top end in communication with a filtration device of the aquarium, and a bottom end which is engaged with a water pump located at the bottom of the aquarium. The bypass tube forms an angle with the main tube such that the bypass tube is provided with an uphill segment contiguous to the main tube, and a downhill segment contiguous to the aerating tube.
