1.) Agree, John. This is a beautiful tank and it looks especially fantastic with the underwater vegetation growing. The translucent green color is particularly nice. 2.) I encourage anyone who would like to see more tank styles and tank decorations to VOICE YOUR OPINION on the contact page of the sea-monkeys website. PLEASE. 3.) That picture of me is what I “USED” to look like - decades ago. Ha! It was taken about the time I was doing contract work for ExploraToy around the turn of the century. (You do the math.) 4.) It’s always a joy to see what John has in store for us in his videos. They never disappoint. The amount of time and attention he gives to them is truly amazing. And finally … 5.) I can’t imagine what 10-year-old-John and 10-year-old-me would would have been up to had we grown up together. One things for certain, it would have been Sea-Monkey related. THANK YOU, JOHN!
J: Let me also add … whether you like it or not, whether you admit it or not, YOU’RE A COLLECTOR! And sadly, there are no 12 step programs for Sea-Monkey addiction. - T
Thanks Tod! I definitely think this is the prettiest tank I’ve reviewed so far - I’m glad it turned out exactly as I envisioned too :) I’ve seen a few people mention the idea of 3D printing tank ornaments, so that could be fun to explore - though I would just prefer if Dragon-I made some official ones. I’ll continue to keep my fingers crossed 😆 And I think after buying 10 Pirate Treasure kits on ebay last week that there’s no denying I’m a collector now 🤣 Time to go buy a new plastic storage bin
@@alexwestfall6373 : Thank you so much. Those were just a few pages from a bigger presentation I made to Dragon-I Toys. These were my simple solutions to give consumers something new without a huge financial investment on the production. Aside from more interesting tanks, I see great possibilities for Sea-Monkeys as licensable characters and story lines.
I love all the science you do with the sea monkey tanks. Your videos would be an asset to schools and museums. I often see sea monkey tanks in the gift shop at our local science museum but never any exhibits with them.
You should make a video going over your collection of sea monkey tanks as well as your live colonies of sea monkey tanks. I would love to see how many of your tanks might still have living sea monkeys after all these videos.
That's so funny that there is a sunken ship container. My 10 gallon tank has a big sunken ship in the middle with an air pump in the middle. This tank looks so sick with the hair algae growing on it. Man I love your videos, helps me take care of my smokies with interesting facts added in ^_^ Can't wait for the next one~
I actually picked this set up from Toys R Us some years back just before Sea Monkeys were taken off the market. The combination of Submarine Searchlight + GITD pirate ship really makes this model aquarium pop.
1) Congrats on getting your holy grail! 2) I didn't expect to hear the sentence "The male sea monkeys have impressive camel toes" today. 3) The ship looks FANTASTIC covered in all the algae & seaweed! This is certainly my new favourite, even more than the circus one!
I was traumatized by a knockoff "Sea Monkeys" kit my mother found at the Asian mart ca. 1983. I ended up hatching the creepiest looking aliens my little 8 year old eyes had seen. They were much bigger than normal sea monkeys and were a hideous green/black color. The worst part was that they were cannibals and ate each other violently. To this day I have no idea what the heck those critters were. Edit: Have you tried 3d printing your own lids and bases or accessories?
@@Lenny77199 Looking at images of triops online, I think you might be correct, I remember them being like tadpoles so I think you might be onto something.
There's a sunken ship in your algae 😂! I absolutely love this tank, I wish to one day own the purple version with the ship, but we will see, I might just find a way to use glow-in-the-dark filament or resin and 3D print my own ship, if I somehow I manage to get the dimensions right (or find someone that 3D scanned this ship). I stopped trying to clean up the bottom of my tanks and I got a lot of round spherical algae growing, but I still feel like I should clean it because on occasion the older algae turns yellow and dies and creates a bacteria bloom or something else that can be bad for the tank (can definitely wipe out colonies) , it's hard to find the right balance of algae, but if the algae is healthy, as you demonstrated, it can sustain a bunch of living organisms, not just the Sea-Monkeys, and also provide oxygen in the tank, which is why I don't have to aerate my tanks daily since the light or sunlight they get helps the algae to produce oxygen and I do see the bubbles rise to the surface, I do still aerate a day or two after feeding to make sure the surface of the water doesn't create surface bacteria, which when it happens it can be a pain to get rid of, but paper towels and patience work. Thank you so much for reviewing this tank! It really lived up to expectations and more, I was afraid it would lose it's haunting appearance with the algae but it just adds to it and makes it even better! Hope you have a great weekend and best of luck in your projects 💜!
i remember having the sunken ship as a kid and never knew how to use the light 😭 but its so cool to see they still exist as i am fed up of seeing all the same tanks, like what happened to all the unique ones 😔 either way the ship deffo was my fav as i kept multiple generations of fairy shrimp in them lmao, i even kept different species like beaver tail fairy shrimp but they all died in like a week which was sad D:
Love it! Also, having micro critters is very good in regular aquariums too. Anything that creates a closer to nature environment is good for the fish...and anything else living there. I'm inspired, have to get one of these.thanks!.
Another awesome video! Keep up the excellent work dude! And to add some interesting information, alot of American Toys will have Spanish and French blurbs so the products can be sold in Mexico and Canada without alterations. So your hunch was 100% correct.
The algae covering the ship is gorgeous! The idea that you don't even need an air line because it produces so much oxygen is incredible! I've been trying to set up my own dream tank for a little while now, and I've got my eye on one particular species of macro algae I'd love to introduce once my tank is mature enough. This is my first time trying to care for these amazing little creatures and your work continues to guide me helpfully. :D
The final tank looks amazing! Kind of makes me want one too if it weren't for the price tag. The idea of modular and customizable kits is very cool and I hope it gets picked up someday. Lastly, I'd love to see a video about the counterfeiting. I've always been fascinated by bootlegging and counterfeit products, and if it's sea monkeys then I'd always just assume copycats would be the extent of it. But the official company counterfeiting their own packets? That's something I'd be interested in hearing.
The reason this tank is doing so well despite the reduced space is the multiplied surface area. The nooks and crannies of the ship are free real estate both for the algae, and also for nitrifying bacteria, breaking down waste and turning it into less toxic fertiliser for the algae. Of course, this is nothing compared to a natural object like a porous stone, or better yet, gravel made from a porous stone. Sandstone, lava rock, basalt, granite, and even coral are good options for this.
Very good review! I just ordered 3 of the basic tank set ups (me,niece,nephew) they are both 8 and like you said the 10 year old boy in me is stoked! I'll be watching more because I'm curious about the aerator and other experiences you have. What I liked best was the microscope content, but I thought the review was well spread out. Those kits get pricey, so its aways nice to see what they include.
So cool seeing your videos takes me back to that little kid excited to order my ea monkeys in the late 70s when you sent in the little paper work to get them and eagerly awaiting for them in the mail lol then they were sold at a novelty store called Spencer's gifts in the US also another fun chain woolworths. But unbenounced to me they didn't look like the picture and my mother explains that they weren't actual monkeys lol such disappointment for a 6 year old lol 😆 now I think they're the coolest thing can you do another video on the largest growing ones or maybe try out the triops kits those are very interesting thank you 😊
These things bring back great memories i had sea monkeys in early 1970,s does anyone remember also the jumping beans loved them to they were big back in 1970,s❤❤❤
Thanks for all your advice! My monkeys are doing well and growing fast! They are so funny too, I could watch them for hours! they like to swim into the jet stream of bubbles from the pump and get wooshed away 😂
I’ll probably get around to it eventually - but I assume the video will be very similar to this one, so it’s pretty low on the priority list right now 😅
This is another level! God level!!! It looks beautifull!!! I have the same kit that comes in the blister, but in red. I bought it at a Toys r us sale, for US$2 or US$5 in 2018.
Woow, I wish I had this as a kid. It looks fantastic, especially with the algae and seaweed. Where did the seaweed come from? Do the algae packets contain live spores, or did it come from your water supply?
I assume there are just spores of the seaweed hanging around my house because I have so much of it a bunch of my other tanks. I also use the same cleaning tools between different tanks, so it might spread that way
The magic castle set almost got me to finnsly buy a seamonkey set because i loved how it looks. This might jsut be what pushes me over the edge to get one though. If i can find one that is
I had the ghostly Galeon, it was a very cool kit Unfortunately I don't have it today. If only I'd known how rare it was going to be. By the way the ghostly galeon came with the million bubble pump on top of the regular kit
Hey John! I absolutely adore this tank, I never knew something like seaweed could grow in a monkey tank, but here we are with it in the best tank possible! Great video! I was looking to do the little donations again, do you not have them anymore?
Thanks! There should be a "super thanks" option just under the video, otherwise I've added a ko-fi link in the video description under the "support me" titled. Appreciate you supporting the channel mate 🙏
Hey, I dunno if you'll actually see this, but I wanted to tell you that I've watched all your sea monkey videos prior to setting up my very first kit. It's only been 3 weeks and I would like to report my monkeys are doing well and have begun mating!
Hi Picocosmos this is the third time I’ve seen this video which you posted on RUclips a few hours ago I liked it so much okay. From Tammy in Australia Queensland and pets.
There is at least one other variant set of the kit, it's main difference is that it had a logo added to the base of the tank. I'd bought one at Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokeys (though I saw it shortly afterwards at the one at Myrtle Beach with the logo for that aquarium. It was in a box display there that also had the aquarium logo on it. Unfortunately, for me, when I bought it, the tank and the ship were damaged while traveling home
Amazing video! I wonder if someone can 3D print these pirate ships for others to add into their volcano kits. Maybe I’ll 3D print them… anyway, my sea monkeys are doing great thanks to your channel! It’s very informative and motivating for this fun micro hobby
Hi Picocosmos I have seen most of your videos on RUclips multiple times too many to count during the last few months or so and they have inspired me to try them for myself along with copepods,daphnia and trilops and possibly even snails again and some fish, so thanks for the inspiration and I have watched quite a few other videos from others on RUclips as well lately who have also inspired me lately okay. From Tammy and pets.
Also I love ur videos and ur the only reason I got into my new hobby and thanks to u I’ve had my sea monkeys for over 100 days and I got to introdues the hobby to more people and I even got my teacher into the hobby
I LOVE this tank so much! I really want one now. Are they impossible to find? Also did you see sea monkeys swimming in the holes of the ship? I thought that part would have been cool to watch. I wish it had a couple more larger holes to really see them swim through it but I dont want to be nit picky either. I really really love this with the sea weed growing on it.
I think it would look cool to stick the sea monkey tanks with ornaments into a large fish tank. Making it so the sea monkeys can get inside the smaller tanks within.
I'm trying to find the black executive set again. I had one about 15 years ago, after first reading about it in 1999 in the handbook order form. But it's hard to even find pictures of it.
I have one that I plan to make a video about soon :) I’ve already started the script. If you wana see pics check out the worthpoint website - they have photos from expired ebay listings
Couple of questions: 1- What are the difference between the some of the Ocean Zoos? Maybe do a video about it. 2- As for the multiple languages packaging possibly having being sold in America I don´t think so. I´m originally from Puerto Rico. As part of USA we get their same products. And I never saw multiple languages in a packaging. If anything French (Canada) but not more than that. It wasn´t until I moved to Spain that I found the multiple languages packaging. 3- Wondering, do you consider yourself already the Brine shrimp god? If not, you should. I do. ;)
I’m working on a video review of the Ocean Zoo at the moment where I’ll talk about some of the variants :) I think you’re right about the different languages - they were most likely for Europe even though these kits weren’t too popular there. 🤣 and no I definitely don’t consider myself the brine shrimp god, though considering how much I experiment with these animals maybe I should 🤔
No idea how it was in the rest of the non English speaking parts of Europe, but in Norway Sea Monkeys were available for a very short time, less than a year I think, in the very early 2000s. No idea why they disappeared so quickly, but there are still those of us who remember them from our childhood.
Hi pico you saved my whole seamonkey family because you teacher me lots and also may you pls do triops I would wonder how you would use it because I been wanting to see you to it so ... yeah
Where is the seaweed coming from?? I've never done seamonkies before but this tank has inspired me to try finally! Do you think 3d printed items would work in a tank at all? Love the channel, thank you for your passion ♡
I wish i had money to be able to buy the neccessary accessories at your shop!! They would be so beneficial to my sea monkey set up 🥲 One day ill save 100$ just for this! Times are hard 🥲
Do you have the magic portal set or the game boy game? I just saw them for sale online, but I'm curious if they're something that's already in your collection!

Insane how GOOD it looks when glowing in the dark with all the green algae, extremely aesthetic visuals
4:39 the camel toe comment made me shoot out of bed laughing, that was so unexpected 😂😂
Ikr?? 🤣
He’s not wrong though
literally said "WHAT" out loud while i was grabbing something out of the fridge. Last thing i expected to hear.

Wow, I was surprised at how well the ship glowed in the dark with all the algae covering it. That was really beautiful
Tbh I really had to push the ISO on my camera to get a decent shot of it lol it definitely looked better in person though
@@pico-cosmos You did well! It looks gorgeous! 💚💚💚
It’s even better when it lives up to your expectations ❤ it was fun hearing you talk about a tank you’re even more passionate about than usual

Definitely my prettiest tank ever ✨
I saw you uploaded right as I was convincing myself to go for my run, so now after it I'm treating myself 🎉
Finally. We get to see the mulm under the microscope! Journey to the Picocosmos!
Never heard the word “mulm” before - thanks for bringing it to my attention!
Thanks for this review! I’ve been eyeing up this kit for a while since I think it’s the coolest looking kit. Might have to pull the trigger now 😂
I bought 10 of these kits on ebay about a week ago 😅 I couldn’t help myself lol
It honestly looks amazing. I dont blame you for wanting it so much one bit. I could watch them for hours in this tank...
1) Congrats on getting your holy grail!
2) I didn't expect to hear the sentence "The male sea monkeys have impressive camel toes" today.
3) The ship looks FANTASTIC covered in all the algae & seaweed! This is certainly my new favourite, even more than the circus one!
Now for replacing the little battery powered pocket light with a fully powered blacklight LED strip and supercharge the sucker.
I just LOVE this pirate ship tank. I am 65 and I will spend the rest of my life searching for one, such as this! 😊

Maybe triops
Man I want to know what they could have been.
@@Lenny77199 Looking at images of triops online, I think you might be correct, I remember them being like tadpoles so I think you might be onto something.
It's definitely triops as they are cannibalistic and are larger than sea monkey
There are huge breed of sea monkeys that are green and I think fit your description. They’re not triops. I’ll try to find the name and comment it
That looks gorgeous! Major congrats on getting this kit. It's been my grail since I was a kid too so it's gratifying to see it looking so beautiful.
My jaw dropped when I saw the final ship!
There's a sunken ship in your algae 😂! I absolutely love this tank, I wish to one day own the purple version with the ship, but we will see, I might just find a way to use glow-in-the-dark filament or resin and 3D print my own ship, if I somehow I manage to get the dimensions right (or find someone that 3D scanned this ship).

On another note, if enough people were to voice this aloud, I'm sure Sea-Monkeys could bring back the ship 👀🤞!!!

Thanks for supporting the channel! Glad to hear you’re enjoying the content
@@pico-cosmos Anytime you’re literally so cool man 😆🫶🏼
The reason this tank is doing so well despite the reduced space is the multiplied surface area. The nooks and crannies of the ship are free real estate both for the algae, and also for nitrifying bacteria, breaking down waste and turning it into less toxic fertiliser for the algae. Of course, this is nothing compared to a natural object like a porous stone, or better yet, gravel made from a porous stone. Sandstone, lava rock, basalt, granite, and even coral are good options for this.
I JUST GOT THIS ON EBAY FOR $100! It’s SO COOL. I LOVE it so much. So happy to see a video on this

I had this.
Found an old one years ago from years before, when they came to my country.
The tank looks SO cool covered in algea!
I had the ghostly Galeon, it was a very cool kit
Unfortunately I don't have it today. If only I'd known how rare it was going to be.
By the way the ghostly galeon came with the million bubble pump on top of the regular kit
Ok that's just stunning with the seaweed and algae.

Now I want to give my fish aquarium some cool glow in the dark ship.
Awesome New Video. Been a while since I've seen one of your videos. 😎👍💯
Can you do a video of raising some in a much bigger tank? Like a 20-50 gal or anything in general 😂

Also I love ur videos and ur the only reason I got into my new hobby and thanks to u I’ve had my sea monkeys for over 100 days and I got to introdues the hobby to more people and I even got my teacher into the hobby
Also this tank is my favorite tank too
Really Cool. And a Gameboy ❤ Zelda 😁
I LOVE this tank so much! I really want one now. Are they impossible to find? Also did you see sea monkeys swimming in the holes of the ship? I thought that part would have been cool to watch. I wish it had a couple more larger holes to really see them swim through it but I dont want to be nit picky either. I really really love this with the sea weed growing on it.
Wow, this is my first time watching this❤❤
I think it would look cool to stick the sea monkey tanks with ornaments into a large fish tank. Making it so the sea monkeys can get inside the smaller tanks within.
I'm trying to find the black executive set again. I had one about 15 years ago, after first reading about it in 1999 in the handbook order form. But it's hard to even find pictures of it.
I have one that I plan to make a video about soon :) I’ve already started the script. If you wana see pics check out the worthpoint website - they have photos from expired ebay listings
I hope your video gets viral quick
Gotta love the ship!!!
Couple of questions:
1- What are the difference between the some of the Ocean Zoos? Maybe do a video about it.
2- As for the multiple languages packaging possibly having being sold in America I don´t think so. I´m originally from Puerto Rico. As part of USA we get their same products. And I never saw multiple languages in a packaging. If anything French (Canada) but not more than that. It wasn´t until I moved to Spain that I found the multiple languages packaging.
3- Wondering, do you consider yourself already the Brine shrimp god? If not, you should. I do. ;)
#3!!! For certain!!! 👍👍👍
I’m working on a video review of the Ocean Zoo at the moment where I’ll talk about some of the variants :) I think you’re right about the different languages - they were most likely for Europe even though these kits weren’t too popular there. 🤣 and no I definitely don’t consider myself the brine shrimp god, though considering how much I experiment with these animals maybe I should 🤔
No idea how it was in the rest of the non English speaking parts of Europe, but in Norway Sea Monkeys were available for a very short time, less than a year I think, in the very early 2000s. No idea why they disappeared so quickly, but there are still those of us who remember them from our childhood.
I would love to see all the colonies you have
Hi pico you saved my whole seamonkey family because you teacher me lots and also may you pls do triops I would wonder how you would use it because I been wanting to see you to it so ... yeah
I had that one as a kid!
How do you get seaweed to grow in the tank? I'd love to get some for my colony
we need a video on triops!!! I love triops
Gorgeous.
Thank you Kiwi Costa
Where is the seaweed coming from?? I've never done seamonkies before but this tank has inspired me to try finally! Do you think 3d printed items would work in a tank at all? Love the channel, thank you for your passion ♡
PLA 3D printing is fine, anything else will probably unalive your fish
Did you add the sea weed yourself or did that spring from the packet?

Oooh, I want this solely because of the pirate ship. O:
Hi John! I love your videos. I'm curious, what ever happened to doing a blue spirulina feeding?
I tried it and it doesn’t work - the water turns blue but the brine shrimp can’t eat it
Do you think the sea monkey or aqua dragons are better?
I wish i had money to be able to buy the neccessary accessories at your shop!! They would be so beneficial to my sea monkey set up 🥲
One day ill save 100$ just for this! Times are hard 🥲
Do you have the magic portal set or the game boy game? I just saw them for sale online, but I'm curious if they're something that's already in your collection!
Stunning!
14:10 kinda looks like journey to the microcosmos.
