Default Vacuum-enhanced aquarium

A "Romaurie Effect" process timer controlled vacuum pump to provide extra air flow via holes on the water line interface between vacuumed and positive pressure aquariums.

Each aquarium set-up has its own external bio filter.I have been using the plastic water filter cases for home drinking water but modified to hold carbon,ceramic tubes and gravel.They work very well and I have a mechanical filter to catch debris before the water returns to the filter.
The inverted aquariums use a circulating pump to to move water from the open area to the vacuumed area thus providing oxygen.The process timer also activates a vacuum pump to draw in extra air.

We only have 1 small set-up indoors.The large systems are in a purpose built housing for the set-ups.
