ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An integrated aquarium is disclosed wherein all of the necessary mechanical functions (air pump, lighting, heating) are located in a compart- ment provided as part of the aquarium base and those components particularly subject to mechanical failure are mounted in a slide-out drawer provided as part of said base so that they may be more easily repaired or replaced. In the preferred embodiment disclosed, an incandescent light bulb located in said base furnished both light and heat to the aquarium and is controlled by a thermal sensor with a manual lamp socket over-ride switch provided, To facilitate removal of the air pump for maintenance and possible replace- ment, the air supply tube leading from the air pump to a sparger/riser tube assembly associated with an undergravel filter is removably connect- able to a passageway communicating with said sparger/riser tube by means of a rubber air cup. A one-way check valve is provided as part of said sparger/riser assembly to prevent backflow of water into said compartment.
