Aquarius - A Lighted Fountain That Manipulates Water

Hi folks,

I just wanted to showcase my project that I've been working on the last 5 months or so. I had alot of help from the Arduino community during the first 1-2 months and very grateful for their input.

I will be launching my project on November 7 on Kickstarter and just wanted to give you all a preview of the campaign before that:

Here's a direct link to the campaign video on Vimeo and YouTube in case you didn't want to go through the campaign page:

The microcontroller is an Arduino Nano on a custom PCB. LEDs used were the APA102Cs (60 of them) controlled with the FastLED libraries. A DC brushless water pump was used and a DC electromagnet for the water vibration.

Let me know what you all think!

Good job. I like that lightning effect!
