It is the base for a hatchery and some instructions on how to construct a hatchery. What you see in the photo is not what you get. You get the small black base, the tubing, the shrimp mix and some instructions. The cylinder you see attached to the base is a two liter coke bottle you provide. In addition you'll need an air pump, lighting and some way of keeping the water at 80 degrees (if you want to follow the instructions).
I'd read several articles on building a hatchery, but chose to buy this one instead because it appeared to have a solid plastic cylinder.
On the plus side having the air hose running out of the base so that it can double as a siphon is nice. Still the base, while solid, rattles around a lot once you start pumping air into it.
I have no opinion on the hatch mix yet except that much of it seems to end up on the sides of the bottle and it comes from China, so I am more than a little worried about what's actually in it.
