On Thursday, Donald Trump will walk into the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, shake Xi Jinping's hand, and declare it a great meeting. There will be announcements. There will be numbers — billions of dollars in Chinese purchase commitments, a new bilateral mechanism with an important-sounding name, possibly a joint statement on Iran. Trump will post on Truth Social. Markets will rally briefly. Pundits will argue about who won. None of that will tell you what actually happened. What is actually happening in Beijing this week is something more consequential and more uncomfortable than the summit theatre will reveal: two leaders of two deeply mutually dependent superpowers, both of whom need this meeting to succeed for entirely different reasons, sitting across a table in a world that has already moved past the assumptions that defined their last nine months of negotiations.

Times like this, I wish Happy Aquarium brought back their weekly demo tank, because the game is now into the third week of its wedding bonanza and shows no signs of slowing down. Some of these new items are now permanent store additions, while others were Limited Edition goods. This post will tell you what all the new items are, how much they cost, and where you can find them at the store (if they're still around).
On July 9th, in the store's "Specials" tab, under "Premium" there's now a:
Wedding Cake; 12 Pearls or 10 FB CreditsWedding Gazebo; 12 Pearls or 10 FB Credits
and Wedding Arch; 10 Pearls or 8 FB Credits
After briefly boot-legging Toy Story, July 13th and 14th was the appearance of the Wedding Gift Idol (get one free premium item everyday forever for $15) and Limited Edition Bride ($2.10 USD) and Groom Fish ($1.70 USD).
On July 17th, the Love Birds were added to the "Tank Mates" section of the store for 29 Pearls or 24 FB Credits ($2.40). They're animated, so they fly around, but because they're two-dimensional, the "LOVE" banner they're carrying sometimes gets flipped over, like it was put in front of a mirror.
The next day, July 18th, under the store's "Decor" section in "Stackable" are:
Spring Wedding Gift; 95 CoinsSummer Wedding Gift; 96 CoinsAutumn Wedding Gift; 97 Coins
Followed by an animated, Limited Edition, Tank Mate Flower Girl on July 19th for 22 Pearls or 18 FB Credits.
Also on the 19th, are two new wedding bouquet corals to be found under "Decor" and "Coral" in the store, and a sparkly ice swan sculpture in "Props":
Ice Sculpture (it's got animated sparkles!); 900 CoinsBright Wedding Bouquet; 93 CoinsWedding Bouquet; 94 Coins
While on the game's gifts page are three new coral that resemble flowers, especially one that looks like a pink rose: Pink Spike Coral, Purple Spike Coral, and Spiral Coral.
For July 22nd, comes a new wedding themed tank floor and wallpaper in the "Ambiance" section, giving tanks an outdoor, windswept meadows feel. There's also an animated clamshell that reveals a ring to be found in the "Specials" tab, under "Premium":
Wedding Ring (opens and shuts to reveal a sparkly diamond ring); 36 Pearls or 30 FB CreditsBed of Floral; 25 Pearls or 21 FB CreditsSpecial Day ("Romantic wallpaper"); 36 Pearls or 30 FB Credits
Next up, on July 24th, either filed at the store under "Decor" then "Props", or "Specials" then "Premium", you'll find a trio of animated songbirds that fly in circular patterns. Yellow Bird, Purple Bird, and Red Bird each cost 10 Pearls or 8 FB Credits.
Finally, on the 25th, under "Decor" then "Props", you'll find six new human wedding attendees -- the bride and groom (perched separately on a piece of magenta coral), 2 bridesmaids, and 2 groomsmen all suited and snorkeled up:
Scuba Groomsman ("Groom's brother"); 60 CoinsAquatic Bride ("Beautiful bride in a flowing dress"); 6 Pearls or 5 FB CreditsScuba Bridesmaid ("Bride's cousin"); 50 CoinsHappy Scuba Bridesmaid ("Bride's bestfriend from college"); 51 CoinsAquatic Groom ("Lookin' spiffy for his big day"); 6 Pearls or 5 FB CreditsHappy Scuba Groomsman ("Groom's bestfriend"); 51 Coins

With the number of different aqua soil substrates on the market it’s a tough decision trying to determine which the best substrate for a planted tank substrate.
