Wow. What a great idea. I want a couple. Too bad they will probably be insanely expensive when they come out.

Also a video that shows the prototype in action. From what I've read the tank in the movie is a 30g.

Looks like a Tunze Stream pump.
Is it going through the glass or is it held on magnetically?

Matt,
I read that they will have controllers for them and I think it said it will be able to control up to 10 devices.

Cool Design. The only draw back I see is that the pump will have to be at right angles to the glass it might make mounting it the way you want kinda difficult.
