Unitary liner for an aquarium
September 06, 2017
A decorative unitary aquarium liner for simulating a scene underwater comprises a bottom and a diorama backdrop that are integrally combined to form a unitary aesthetic scene. The bottom and diorama backdrop may be formed from the same sheet of material, such as thermoform plastic and the diorama backdrop may provide enclosures for accommodating aquarium water circulating conduits connected to pump and filter assemblies, aquarium aeration conduits and illumination accessories, if desired. The aeration outlet to the aquarium may pass through an orifice in the bottom portion of the aquarium liner. The aquarium liner may optionally incorporate side portions integrally combined with the bottom and diorama backdrop to form a multisided liner. The outer surface of the liner may have irregular contours to simulate a natural underwater environment. The unitary aquarium liner eliminates the need for sand and gravel presently used in most convention aquariums. The diorama backdrop may alternately provide a recess for a box-type water filter and be used without the bottom liner if only a decorative backdrop is desired.
