[Lekooks] Water Wall at LCUUC

Once again, I have a water wall type fountain I'd happily donate. It 
hasn't been used in awhile, but if memory serves, it's a couple of 
feet tall (goes on table or floor), and the water travels down over 
pieces of slate, with river stones around the base and a small light 
to illuminate it.
