Clear instructions are included. The plant bed fits snugly onto its frame which sets upon one of three appropriately sized Aqueon glass tanks. The water pump and timer (included) circulate water from the fish tank to the plant bed above; the ebb and flow action automatically continues day and night, aerating the water and keeping the eco-system in balance. You will also receive fish and plant care guidelines which will help you get to a successful and rewarding start. Rocks, fish, fish food, plants or seeds and glass tank are supplied by customer. For the Little Tokyo the tank must be 20 inches long and 10 inches wide. The dept may vary. Aqueon makes a 10 gallon tank with these dimensions. We recommend using local sources for fish, plants, and gravel (for the plant bed).  For gravel we suggest you find river or granite pebbles, lava stone, permatill or hydroton.As featured on Good Morning America

The ADC-1, Auto-Drain Controller, allows you to put in a wastewater drain, anyplace that you would like. It consists of a controller bucket with a float switch. When the float switch detects the presence of water, it turns on the pump (not included) to pump out your water to a waste drain of your choice, even higher than the controller. You could have your run-to-waste tables drain into an ADC-1 for automated removal of waste water. It will run most any pump that can fit inside the controller. It has 1/2" inputs and outputs, but can easily be modified to accommodate any size pump. 3 year no hassle warranty.
