Abstract: An aquarium filter and a method of indicating reduced flow through the filter. The aquarium filter includes a first chamber, a second chamber, and a filter cartridge separating the first chamber and the second chamber. A first flow path is defined through the filter cartridge separating the first chamber and the second chamber. The aquarium filter also includes spillway defining a second flow path and an indicator positioned in the second flow path.

Abstract: A filter including a filter housing having a spillway and a pneumatic intake assembly that draws water from an aquarium into the filter housing. The filter housing being configured to internally mount to the aquarium. The filter housing having first and second chamber oriented in a side-by-side arrangement such that water flows in a generally horizontal direction through a filter cartridge positioned between the first and second chambers.

Abstract: An aquarium filter including a filter housing, a filter cartridge positionable within the filter housing, and a pump assembly. The aquarium filter also includes an indicator arrangement including a first device and a second corresponding device that interconnect to control operation of the pump assembly.

Abstract: An aquarium filter arrangement including a filter housing and a filter cartridge positionable within a filter chamber of the filter housing. The filter arrangement includes a hinged cover connected to the filter housing. The hinged cover is designed to collect condensation when the cover is in an open position, and empty the collected condensation into the filter chamber when the cover is closed. The filtering housing also includes guides located above the filter chamber. The filter cartridge can be positioned within the guides during maintenance of the aquarium.

Abstract: A decorative aquarium arrangement including a decorative structure for use in concealing a filter assembly and a heater. The decorative structure including an inlet and an outlet. The inlet and the outlet are relatively located to create a diagonal circulation of aquarium water within an aquarium to reduce stagnant regions within the aquarium. The heater is further positioned in relation to the filter assembly such that heated, filtered water is dispensed by the decorative aquarium arrangement.

Abstract: A decorative aquarium arrangement including a decorative structure for use in concealing a filter assembly and a heater. The decorative structure including an inlet and an outlet. The inlet and the outlet being relatively located to generate a side-to-side flow component that creates a diagonal circulation of aquarium water within an aquarium to reduce stagnant regions within the aquarium. The heater is further positioned in close proximity to the filter assembly such that heated, filtered water is dispensed by the decorative aquarium arrangement.

Abstract: A water pump assembly for an aquarium aeration system includes a housing surrounding an electric pump. Within the housing, a water conduit passes an impeller of the pump for the generation of a stream of moving water. An air-breather conduit conducts air from a location above the housing to an air-induction port in a sidewall of the water conduit. The aquarium power head is provided with a clamp for attaching the power head to the aquarium tank. The clamp has a ring which mates a tubular inlet portion of the housing and engages that inlet portion. A flow diverter to adjust the water flow exiting the power head in a desired direction is adjustably connected to the outlet portion of the housing of the power head.
