Anyway, here is a pretty gift, courtesy of Qian Hu, which makes my visit to Aquarama 2015 "less regretable"...
It came with cut-sponge for the plants, has led lights, base plates to hold cyrstal-like pebbles, dividers (optional - to separate male/female betta), two water holder compartments - top container to provide water nutrients for the plants, bottom containter to clear off extra waste water,
A pail of Lucky Bamboo (extras from CNY purchase) ready for the hydroponic set up.
