Everyone has been bugging us to offer video online, so so new for 2017, we are offering unlimited online high-def streaming for only $20. If you prefer, you can add a traditional DVD set or Blu-Ray for a few bucks more.
Included are all five main speakers (Luca, Karen, Bart, Ghazanfar and Rachel), Luca's big demo (edited down to a very watchable one hour packed with nonstop tips on how to improve your own aquascaping), the Wabi-Kusa demo and workshop, highlights of the nano workshop, and seven micro-presentations.
