<p>A rotating aquarium (10) for use with live fish and particularly live corals, including a canopy (12) with light fixtures (14), a tank (16) having a central core (18), a turntable (20) including an electric motor (22) for rotating the tank (16), and a base (24) for supporting the tank (16). The central core (18) includes an electrical conduit (32) for transporting electrical wires to the light fixture (14) in the canopy (12). The central core (18) also includes a water pipe (39) that is connected to a reservoir (40) mounted within the base (24) of the aquarium (10). The reservoir (40) includes a pump (44) that circulates water throughout the aquarium (10). The tank (16) rotates about the central core (18) via the turntable (20) and the electric motor (22). As the tank (16) rotates, the fish and living coral receive light at different angles and receive superior water circulation. The aquarium (10) of this invention therefore provides an environment more like the ocean for the animals living therein.</p> |
