Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of planting aquatic plants, which eliminates the need for planting work at a place where an aquarium for aquarium fish is installed, and to a plant unit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to plant aquatic plants in an aquarium for aquarium fish, first, a bottom sand washed with water is spread over the bottom of the aquarium by a thickness of several centimeters, and the bottom sand portion is placed at a location where the aquarium is installed. Lay out aquatic plants along with other stones and driftwood, etc.
They are planted one by one. For this reason, planting of aquatic plants was extremely troublesome. In addition, when changing the layout of aquatic plants regularly, it is necessary to remove the existing aquatic plants and bottom sand, re-place the bottom tank with new bottom sand, and plant new aquatic plants. The work required time and effort.

[0003] As described above, in the conventional water planting work, the water plant is directly planted in the bottom sand portion at the installation site of the water tank, so that root rot, wilt, etc. are caused by the stress at the time of the replanting. Occurs and causes deterioration of water quality. For this reason, it is necessary to remove the above-mentioned root rot and dead-out water plants during the growth of the water plants in the water tank. In addition, when the planted water plants grow to a certain extent, their growth speed is reduced and the absorption of nutrients is also reduced. Therefore, trimming is performed by cutting out a part of the water plants to promote the growth. Trimming this aquatic plant is also a tedious task.

[0004] In addition, aquatic plants hardly perform photosynthesis for about one week after planting, so that nutrients dissolved in water are not absorbed much, and the amount of undecomposed nutrients increases due to the small number of filtered bacteria. . Since moss is frequently generated using this nutrient and adheres to the glass surface of the aquarium, the moss must be removed. For this reason, at present, moss is sucked out using a hose, and shrimp that eats the moss are released into a water tank. Further, since the water quality is deteriorated for the above-mentioned reason, it is necessary to periodically replace the water in the water tank. And about four weeks after planting of the aquatic plants, the aquatic plants grow and perform stable photosynthesis, their roots become sufficient, and a lot of necessary microorganisms are also generated, and moss is not generated, and the plants are left in the aquarium. You will be able to put appreciation fish. In this way, before the fish can be put in the aquarium, removal of hay as described above,
It is necessary to perform various things such as trimming of aquatic plants, removal of moss, and water replacement, and it is quite difficult for beginners,
The fact is that the period until the appreciation fish can be put in the aquarium is long.

[0005] In addition, since undecomposed residual bait is present in the water tank and the water is contaminated, water is filtered using a filtration device. This filtration device has a bottom type, top type,
There are various types such as external type and underwater type, but since the bottom of the tank is covered with several cm of bottom sand,
In any case, the water in the water tank cannot be sufficiently filtered.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, when setting an aquarium for aquarium fish, the planting work at the installation location of the aquarium is not required, and the aquarium setting and layout change based on the initial layout of aquatic plants are made unnecessary. It is an object of the present invention to be able to perform such operations easily and in a short time without requiring special knowledge and experience.

[0007]

Are spread, and a large number of waterweed units are formed in advance in a state where the waterweeds are grown and completely settled, and the large number of waterweed units are set exchangeably at the bottom of the water tank. In addition, if necessary, one or a plurality of water circulation units having at least a suction portion of a water circulation device therein are used in a device interior container having substantially the same configuration as the waterweed planting container,
When a large number of waterweed units and one or more water circulation units are set exchangeably at the bottom of the water tank, a part of the water circulation device is housed in a device interior container having substantially the same configuration as the waterweed planting container. The objects not to be exposed are not exposed in the aquarium, and the water scene as the aquarium for aquarium is improved.

The method for planting aquatic plants according to the present invention comprises the steps of producing a large number of aquatic plants in a state in which the aquatic plants are grown and completely settled in advance, and setting the plurality of aquatic plants on the bottom of the aquarium. Therefore, the aquatic plants are fully rooted and the bottom sand is settled by filtered bacteria, so after setting, the aquatic plants need to rot, die, trim, etc. The fish can be put in immediately after the water quality is stabilized. In this way, at the installation site of the aquarium, it is only necessary to set the aquatic plant unit, and since there is no need to plant the aquatic plants, the labor of setting as an aquarium for aquarium fish is greatly reduced, and shortly after the start of the set. Appreciation fish can be put in the number of days. For this reason, when changing the layout of the weeds, it is only necessary to replace them with another waterweed unit that has been prepared and manufactured in advance. Can be done in time and easily.

[0009] Further, a leg is provided at the bottom of the waterweed planting container, and when a large number of waterweed units are set on the bottom of the water tank, the bottom of the waterweed planting container and the bottom of the water tank are connected to each other. A water circulation path is formed between the water tank and the water circulated by the water circulation device passes through the bottom sand laid in the waterweed planting container, the water circulation hole provided in the bottom plate thereof, and the water circulation path. Circulating, the filtration performance of the water is enhanced. Also, at the time of replacing the water plant unit, the bottom sand in the water plant planting container functioning as the filter material is also replaced at the same time, so the filter material will be replaced at the same time,
It is efficient.
