Being a fish parent can be a nice way to bring some nature into your home.

And aquaponics definitely has to be one of the coolest ways to do it. Having a little ecosystem where the fish tank is cleaned by a plant, and the plant uses the nutrients to grow is pretty amazing.

That's why this week our ScienceAlert deal is the EcoQube C Aquarium.

This aquaponics aquarium is the most popular aquarium ever on Kickstarter, and it's just landed on ScienceAlert Academy.

It uses 50 percent less energy and 90 percent less water than comparable aquariums while never requiring you to change the filter.

Not only that – you can grow your own mint or basil at the top to clean the tank.

The regular price for these models is US$169.99 but we've reduced the price to US$99.99.

We're currently shipping these all over the world, so don't miss out.

Price: US$99.99
