AQUARIUM ASSEMBLY

An aquarium assembly capable of containing predetermined amounts of water for sustaining aquatic life. The aquarium assembly includes a sectionalized frame construction having an integrally formed rectangular base portion and an integrally formed rectangular top portion. The base portion and top portion are supported in parallel vertically spaced relation by four corner struts. The four corner struts are angular shaped in cross section and include side edges which converge upwardly from the base portion. Each of the strut members includes a number of longitudinally projecting locking elements which are adapted to be fitted within complementary sockets formed in the base and top portion for maintaining the sectionalized frame assembly in an assembled relationship. The aquarium tank is constructed of transparent glass or plastic material with the glass panels being joined together and sealed with a silicon rubber base to prevent leakage. The aquarium assembly includes a removable top constructed of a plurality of independently movable sections capable of being moved to an open position to permit access to the interior of the aquarium tank. A light assembly is supported on the aquarium top frame element and is detailed in construction and supported relative to the aquarium top to permit translating movement of the light assembly relative to the aquarium tank for varying the light effects produced by the light assembly.
