The aquarium or terrarium light systems simulates rising and setting of the sun. A housing contains two lamps, one variable lumen output for graduated light output and the other for full ON or OFF lighting. The light fixture contains a timer / dimming unit to variably increase power / voltage to the first lamp (variable output) and then to supply full ON power to the second lamp. The timer turns ON-OFF the second lamp late in the sunrise cycle and then early in the sunset cycle.

A terrarium having a ventilation system for preventing condensation and moisture build up is provided. The terrarium includes a bottom wall and at least one side wall coupled together to form an animal enclosure therein. A ventilation system is disposed on a portion of the side wall configured to allow air to enter into the enclosure. The ventilation system has at least one opening positioned to allow communication between the inside and the outside of the terrarium. The opening is arranged such that air entering into the enclosure through the ventilation system is directed onto the inside surface of the side wall. The terrarium may include at least one side door to access the inside of the terrarium from the side. Further, the terrarium may include a bottom frame that raises the bottom of the terrarium from the lower edge of the bottom frame so that a heater may easily be placed underneath the terrarium.

A top member for a terrarium is disclosed along with the terrarium. The top member includes a frame member positioned around an upper periphery of the terrarium. The frame member contains a recess. A divider spans across the upper periphery of the terrarium. The top member also has a pair of brackets each having a first portion sized to fit into the recess of the frame member and a second portion secured to the divider by fasteners. The top member further has a pair of covers secured between the frame member and the divider which allow for the passage of air into and out of the terrarium. The top member also has a pair of attachment members each surrounding one of the pair of covers. The pair of attachment members engages with the frame member and the divider to hold the pair of covers secure.

A device for dispensing and distributing food for aquatic fauna, which can be fitted in aquariums or containers for holding live fish, but also in tanks for turtles and terrariums in general or similar, this device comprising a tank and means for pushing the food towards an outlet, in which the tank (11) is positioned in a substantially horizontal direction and houses a pusher-mixer (12 which occupies the internal space of the tank and consists of a shaft (17), equipped with a plurality of sloping blades (18) all facing in the same direction as the direction in which the food is pushed towards the dispensing outlet (13), and in which this dispensing outlet (13) presents a substantially vertical opening for the discharge of the food in a horizontal direction.

An integrated environmental sustaining apparatus for maintaining a terrarium is adapted to simultaneously regulate temperature and deliver water droplets. The apparatus includes three major systems; a thermoelectric device, a water droplet delivery system, and a thermostat. The thermoelectric device is used to release heat or absorb heat. The water droplet delivery system includes a water pump, a water pipe and at least one water droplet dispersing device connected to the water pipe. A section of the water pipe is coupled to the thermoelectric device such that water flowing inside the water pipe will thermally communicate with the thermoelectric device. The thermostat is used to power on or off the thermoelectric device and the water pump in response to the temperature measurement inside the terrarium in relation to a predetermined temperature range determined by a low-temperature setting and a high temperature setting that can be programmed into the thermostat.

The present invention involves a glow-in-the-dark edible terrarium substrate for a terrarium animal such as a reptile, an amphibian, or an arachnid. The substrate is a glow-in-the-dark calciferous sand including a calciferous sand with a glow-in-the-dark coating. The glow-in-the-dark calciferous sand is healthy, ingestible, and digestible by the terrarium animal and provides lighting for observing the nocturnal behavior of the terrarium animal.

The invention discloses an agarose gel substrate cultivated Aglaonema modestum potted plant and a preparation method thereof, and particularly relates to the technical field of cultivated Aglaonema modestum potted plant. The agarose gel substrate cultivated Aglaonema modestum potted plant includes a glass container, a high-concentration nutrient layer, a low-concentration nutrient layer and an anti-bacterial layer are sequentially arranged from bottom to top in the glass container, the low-concentration nutrient layer and the high-concentration nutrient layer are closely attached, and the anti-bacterial layer and the low-concentration nutrient layer are closely attached. Gel-cultivated Aglaonema modestum series potted plant are cleaner, a cultivation substrate is free of dust, insects andmolds, and soil and a nutrient solution are not leaked; and meanwhile, in the gel-cultivated Aglaonema modestum series potted plant, the maintenance of the Aglaonema modestum series plant is simpler and does not require subsequent supplementation of fertilizers, the problems of polluting the indoor environment with dust, breeding insects and molds by soil and difficulty in quantitatively controlling the physical and chemical properties such as water and fertilizer conditions and PH value of soil of an existing soil cultivated Aglaonema modestum potted plant are solved, and the problems that the nutrient solution is prone to being splashed and too high or too low nutrient concentration is not conducive to the survival and growth of plants are solved.

A terrarium including a base, a support column, a top, and one or more arcuate panels with a closure is provided. The base can include one or more base channels, and the top can include one or more top channels. The top can be supported entirely by the support column at a first preselected distance from the base. One or more arcuate panels can extend between the top and the base, being disposed in the top channel and the base channel, and forming an opening. Another arcuate panel can form a closure over the opening, with that panel optionally slidable to selectively access an internal compartment of the terrarium. The support column can support the top and assist in holding the arcuate panels, as well as form a ventilation chimney associated with the internal compartment. Related methods of use are provided.

The present invention involves an edible terrarium substrate for a terrarium animal such as a reptile, an amphibian, or an arachnid. The substrate includes a fine calciferous sand that is healthy, ingestible, and digestible by the terrarium animal.

A wall mountable tank system for holding live flora or fauna includes an integrally formed tank including a rear panel, a bottom panel, and at least one of a front panel, first side panel, and second side panel. The panels define a tank interior for containing the flora or fauna. The rear panel includes a mounting portion having a receiving groove. A mounting member capable of being fixedly coupled to a vertical mounting surface is provided. The mounting member includes a tongue portion receivable in the receiving groove for engaging the mounting member to the tank.
