A self-cleaning aquarium for lazy fish owners
Fish are easily some of the lowest maintenance pets.
The only hassle you need to worry about is aquarium maintenance, but not everybody has the time or knowhow to clean their fish tank. Now, thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign, EcoQube C Aquarium can make cleaning your aquarium a problem of the past.
The idea was conceived by a pair of aquarium enthusiasts after completing extensive research on how ancient civilizations used aquaponics as a solution for food and water shortages. This gave them the idea to employ the historic system of agriculture with modern aquariums.
So how does it work exactly? Check out the video below:
The innovative aquarium uses plants like basil and mint to clean itself, allowing you to use 50% less energy and 90% less water than comparable aquariums. Best of all, you'll never have to change another water filter again.
This clean and durable tank can save you up to $250 a year, while providing a home for your aquatic friend. Make your fish happy, make yourself happy, and maybe learn something in the process. It's a win - win - win.
Usually, this aquarium would cost you $169.99 – but for a limited time, you can get it for $99.99.
