Remember the EcoQube Air and the EcoQube C that you all freaked out over? There's a bigger, better model in town: the EcoQube C+.

Recently launched and quickly funded on Kickstarter, the EcoQube C+ is an extreme revamp of the original self-sustaining ecosystem. It's bigger than both previous models (three gallons to be exact) so your fishy friends will be happy to make the move.

The self-filtration system is the same though, so even if you get more fish, you still don't have to change the filter. And remember how both previous models only had one plant? EcoQube C+ has the capacity to grow up to five different plants at a time, including microveggies in just 10 days.

Oh, and there's also new customizable lighting. The remote-controlled LEDs have multiple settings, including a rainbow cycle, because who needs strobe lights for a party when you have a greenhouse? Use grow mode for your plants and night mode for yourself — the low temperature lights aid your circadian rhythm, which can help you fall asleep faster (if the soothing water sounds weren't already doing the trick). Use the 12-hour timer to automatically alternate between grow and sleep.

Check out the EcoQube C+ in action:

Shipping is set to begin in November 2018 — perfect for a head start on next year's holiday gifts. Get the early bird prices and back the campaign here on Kickstarter.
