Just go out and buy a fish tank with a PROPER filter & put whatever fish you want in it. I just can't see 3 little plants taking up enough of the ammonia and eventually nitrites in the water to do anything. You can buy aquatic plants, and even they can't get rid of enough to help get rid of ammonia, nitrites & nitrates, at least not in an uncycles tank. Even in a fully cycles tank, it is RARE to have - nitrates, even in a heavily planted fish tank w/ healthy plants. Just a big ole waste of money IMO. The idea is interesting, but just all show IMO.

Amazing, really, that you can grow food inside your own home like this. Now THIS is the type of thing I dreamed of when I thought of "The Future."
