環保魚缸花盆二合一

飼養金魚可令人心境平靜，但每星期要換水洗濾芯的雜務實在煩人，而換出來的濾芯還會造成污染。其實大自然的泥土就是最好的過濾芯，有法國公司運用這個原理，做成了一款把花盆和魚缸二合一的環保魚缸兼浮動花園，讓養金魚不再成為負擔。

環保魚缸的設計與普通家居魚缸基本相同，但原來安放尼龍棉濾芯的盒子轉以一個特別設計的花盆取代。用家可在花盆中種植喜愛的花草，帶有魚糞的缸水會由水泵送到花盆，由盆中厚達五厘米的河沙過濾後流回缸中，留下的魚糞則會被泥土中的細菌分解成為花草的養分。整個過程就跟河邊綠地的動物排泄物天然降解的過程完全一樣。

目前這款環保魚缸仍未公開發售，預計最快將在明年春季正式推出



The fish tank is a microcosm that reflects human concerns: within the finite space of its architecture the main issue that conditions the well-being of its inhabitants is waste management. ‘Floating Garden’ by Benjamin Graindorge and Duende Studio brings an innovative solution to the daily maintenance constraints of freshwater aquariums with a filtering system that is 100% natural: a cushion of sand + plants that adapts to each and every model. Its recycling principle based on hydroponics does away with the chore of regular water changes and proposes a new domestic- scale typology, between the decorative glass vase and the water purifying plant.
