You nailed it, John. The good, the bad and the ugly about this tank. Also the massive mystery as to how this kit made it to retail sales with such an obvious design flaw.
I like the built in lights as a gimmick but I’ve never used any of them other than to initially try them out. They only seem to be good for short term atmospheric viewing and nothing long term. I’ll stick with indirect sunlight and grow lamps for that.
With minimal modifications, this tank could be re-released, renamed and repackaged into a decent product. Sadly, it either won’t happen or it will take so long I’ll be long dead and buried.
Thanks for the shout out as well. I’m always happy to help support your endeavors where I can.
Like you, I’m curious to read other people’s opinions on this tank. Is it worth reconfiguring and re-releasing or just scrap it and move on.
Another great video. - Tod
PS: I can always tell when you’ve mastered a new video-editing technique. The large “GIVEAWAY” text coming in behind you was a nice touch.
Thanks Tod! A few people have mentioned that they think this may have been a modified and repurposed mould, because those horizontal lines down the bottom may represent liquid fill lines. I’m still not sure what their function is 😅
Glad you enjoyed the video though, and I’m super impressed you noticed the new editing technique! It took me a good half hour to learn how to do that, and it’s still not quite right 😂 I’ll get better at it with time.
Thanks again for helping me get my hands on this tank to review for the channel. Feels good to have another one ticked off - now on to the next 📹
The two of you have to be the best thing to happen to the Sea Monkeys brand in a very long time. My love for Sea Monkeys started because of these videos
@@scottmartin7049 : Agree. John’s content, video quality and huge audience is the best thing to happen to the brand from a marketing standpoint. I love it because he does all the work and I just assist where I can. 👍👍👍
@@pico-cosmos I’m guessing those lines are for grip, so you can take the lid off without it slipping out of wet hands.
I think this would have some benefit if it was refitted to allow a small heater and air line thru the lid, rather than the double lid and light. Or build the lights around the hole (which should be wide enough for both lines needed for heat and air). Modify the lights a little so that you can have a light show OR grow lights? You could have a really nifty all-in-one unit for someone who what’s to do it right.
“The adventure you go on realizing your sea monkeys won’t survive”😂
Great review, as always!
Lol glad you appreciate my dry sense of humour
that had me losing it xD
"maybe it's the adventure you go on to realizing your sea monkeys won't survive" the shade cracked me up LMAO
😂
The light is so cute but i cant get over the fact that the tank is giving off peanut butter jar vibes😂
Like the fact that its too large to properly work for the packs is absolutely sending me, and the light turning the sea monkeys into a rave especially since they keep swimming towards it every time it flashes
😂😂
Lol I was thinking mayonnaise
Actually my first sea monkey kit I think was in a mason jar, I got a kit back in the late 80's I think that had no tank in the toy section at Best Buy, gave me nostalgic feelings of that.
I love the light feature, its super cool to see them look so bright under the different colors. I kinda like the printed coral at the bottom, it gives it a little character. Super cool vid!
I love hearing other people’s perspectives on this stuff :) I’m glad someone appreciates the stuff that bothers me 🤣
I also like the coral design haha
@@Anne-ot8gq right! I thought it was cute
Love larger tanks and would love to see more larger tanks released as well. Would be great if they re-released this again.
Would love to potentially see a video or guide on how to mix more seawater for the seamonkies as well. Thanks again for the interesting content.
I'll definitely do something along those lines at some point - probably a long video about making a DIY Brine Shrimp tank 👍
I actually really enjoy this Ocean Adventure tank. The more circular design makes me feel like the sea monkeys have more room to swim around. That searchlight is also an awesome addition that I've noticed a lot of tanks don't have. I know in my future I plan on creating a huge sea monkey colony that has a cat themed tank.
No but, the first thing I have to say is WHY ARE THE SEA MONKEYS SO CUTEEE!! Those cute little eyes and feathery fins are soo pretty to look at!! And about the whole adventure tank, compared to the smaller ones , I love the large size of the container and it seems more safe to me to handle. Plus I personally love those magnified blobs on the body because it is real fun to watch the sea monkeys from that view. Also I like that air pumper for dissolving the salts rather than just stirring it viciously. But above all, this whole adventure tank is so pretty and beautiful, the colours, the sea monkeys, the design everything! And I loved your video on how you explained every detail, loved every bit of it, also I came to know a lot ! Thanks a lot!! Keep it up!
❤❤
I haven't owned sea monkeys before but I've been very interested in them lately as I had to leave my fish tank with my family when I moved, so I feel like it's a unique way to experience a similar thing with a bit more convenience than you'd have with a massive fish tank. Love the videos, and love seeing all the ways you can more adequately care for these little beings:)
Yeah it many ways it really is like having a mini fish tank, though with less maintenance. Let me know if you ever have any questions if you do decide to try raising some yourself :)
Yeah
hi Pico awesome videos as usual
i am new to sea monkeys and i am extremely fascinated about the tiny cute creatures
but i have researched alot about them and learning how to care for them
That’s great to hear :) welcome to the hobby 🤗
I feel like the tank is pretty cool because it has lights and comes with a heater, I just with it didn’t have those circles in it so that it would be easier to see them. Pretty cool idea though!
I actually really like this tank, the light feature is really cool and makes me think they should make lids with lights for existing tanks that you could buy as an add on kind of thing. Great video ❤
That's a great idea!
3:25 I feel bad for laughing but I was caught off guard by this joke LOL Also the tank with the lights on kinda reminded me of a lava lamp, really cool feature!
I’m glad you appreciated my dry sense of humour 😅 and that’s a good point about the lava lamp! I didn’t think of that but you’re totally right
How cute is the character design on the little spoon scoopy thing!
I definitely agree that I think the light feature would be cooler if you could pick a light, or maybe even modify the light so it could help the algae growth instead of just being aesthetically nice. I think this tank is interesting because I could see maybe growing the sea monkeys in this sort of nursery set up and then getting them a bigger tank I could decorate on my own and promote more algae growth with more stuff. I'd love to see this tank with things like in the Japanese castle tanks, where there's molded plastic designs that algae can grow on!
Yeah I totally agree! Fortunately it's not too difficult to put aquarium decor in here - a small piece of coral or driftwood could work well 👍
The ocean adventure looks great ignoring the flaws it'd be cool to see bigger tanks for sea monkeys great review btw!
Thank you for doing all these videos on the different tanks! I tried finding information on all the different types of kits in the history of sea monkeys, but it was surprising that a record like that didn't really come up. I appreciate how thorough you are! Would love to see more on the different regional availabilities of tanks 😊
The larger size is pretty appealing in this one, but it's pretty wild they just never thought about how that would affect the salinity with no adjustments to the amount of salt 😂
Yeah there's really not much info online about a lot of this stuff :/ Even with the digging I do it can be difficult to find out anything substantial for a lot of these kits. I know Tod is currently working on a book that will cover a lot of this stuff :) Not sure when it'll be out, but that would be the closest thing we'll get to an accurate history of Sea-Monkeys and all the different items from over the years
@@pico-cosmos Wow, that's great to hear! I'll be looking forward to when it comes out, I love hearing about all the little differences in these kits and the history of their production.
Great video as always! I actually really love the light - hopefully they bring the idea back at some point with a bit of better design and more options to control the light.
This is prob one of my fav videos! BEAUTIFUL tank❤ amazing job as usual🎉
Thanks :))
i love your videos john, they're well edited and amazing, thank you for making content for us all
Glad to hear you're enjoying the videos :) There's a lot of work that goes into them but it's a labour of (mostly) love
I LOVE the Ocean Adventure Tank! All other issues aside I just want a bigger tank and I do like the look of it as a jar. Its pretty cute. I wonder if there is some way to modify the lids so that it could accommodate a line in for the air??? If they re-released it do you think they would add that into the lid design? They never seem very keen to make lids that would allow us to keep our sea monkeys for a long time. Still my favorite tank design of them all though.
It could be modified yeah, though the easiest way to do it would be cutting away at some of those air vents to make them a little larger to get the accessories through the hole. Tbh if this does get a reissue I doubt they’ll take accessories into consideration, they’ve never made those accommodations in the past but we can always keep our fingers crossed 🤞
Well, as I understand it, part of the business model is selling more eggs every time a culture dies out. 😕
I love these videos. Definitely has brought the nostalgia back of wanted to raise sea-monkey again. I used to have one of the more regular tanks but with the projector/ light lid. I don’t know where that kit went of course lol. I think Ocean Adventure kit would look just a little better if there was a more interesting substrate in it.
In my opinion, this aquarium looks very nostalgic and i love the design of having 2 lids, this tank would be great for me and my brothers to share!
Hi Pico. Woo Hoo!!!
Congrats on your channel milestones and success. Ocean Adventure Tank is cute but larger size might be needed and your recommendations are spot on. Great video!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks 🙌 appreciate you supporting the channel mate :)
The light feature’s nice, the two lines at the bottom are agreeably annoying. I love watching your videos, learning more about sea monkeys, and how to care for them. Watching my own hatch would be a life changing experience.
The tank looks like you’re about to turn the sea monkeys into a protein shake lmao this tank is so rad though! I’m slowly going through the videos on the channel and I think this might be my new thing. I have adhd and have been wanting some pets to help keep me on a schedule but also just relax and enjoy since I can’t have anything too wild anyway. The idea of learning how to care for these little guys and watching them grow genuinely seems amazing
Lol this hobby is perfect for ADHD 😆 you’ll start collecting the tanks soon
Love the bigger tank. Agree the lights should be usb because I dislike using a ton of batteries. This honestly could have just been a Mason jar though.
I'd love to see a cube tank for sea monkeys about the size of a Rubik's cube.
Yeah, a mason jar would’ve been a more appropriate size for a single set of packets too 😂
Good point about a plug in light versus battery light. Plug in lighting is so much easier than batteries, and brighter too as you said. Thanks. That's something about that larger tank not having enough saline mix the first time sold.
I love that you review them honestly. Your definitely my favorite channel to relax take a breath and crotchet while listening too. I definitely wish they would come out with more themed tanks and eaven though they aren't necessary cute little accessories for the tanks like sea diamonds 😍
I personally like the light feature! Hopefully in the future a tank which consist of a heater or an aerator can be considered which would be really cool :)
To have some extra functionality like that light ups feature I think it’s a right step towards making the tanks more engaging, I would love to see a tank with full on everything like the grow lights and an air pump to go fully automated
I would bet those little Betta fish tanks would be just right for Sea Monkeys and some of them come with additional equipment, like lights. Would have to take a closer look.
Great video, keep up the good work 😁
Strange design but i like it, the light is a cool feature
Cool, You’re reviewing videos are awesome, also all of your videos are good
Hi John, amazing video as always.
Just noticed you hit 100k (probably happened a long time ago but I missed it), I remember subbing back when you had 50k and were going by Artemia Daddy! Amazing job, very happy for you.
I actually really like the design of the Ocean Adventure tank, I feel like the cylindrical design would be nice to add in a feature (maybe a tall rock or some driftwood) for the artemia to swim round and play with. Totally agree with the light, I feel like if it strobed through the colours it'd be a lot more pleasing but the on-off is just a little distracting and could get annoying quickly (for both you and the sea monkeys!).
Brilliant video as always, look forward to the next one!
Thanks for being one of the earlier subs to the channel 😀 it’s been great seeing people connect with the content over these past few months.
You’re totally right about adding aquarium decor into this tank! Some sand and a small piece of coral or driftwood would look great.
I think the next Sea-Monkey tank review will probably be the Big Show Projector tank 👍
Wow. Love your creativity with these cute sea monkeys.💓💓💓 Yes agree with the recommendations for light and slots for heater etc... Thank you for sharing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it :) thanks for supporting the channel
@@pico-cosmos
Omg you actually replied.
Your awesome Sir. 🙏🏻
It’s great to have someone doing this from NewZealand. Thank you for this, hopefully the channel still on in few years to see how the sea monkeys becomes
Wow. That's an amazing oversight. 😂😂 I would love to see sea monkey themed figures that could be placed in the jar to potentially take up the extra volume.
That's a great idea!
I acually love the light it looks so cool to see the sea monkeys bright.
hey there John! I found your channel a couple of months ago and i’ve become a huge fan. Before discovering your channel, i’ve never heard of sea monkeys or owed them. But watching your channel has made me love them. Your love of sea-monkeys make it so entertaining. I’ve watched all your videos and have loved each one. I watch your videos every night and although I haven’t received a notification that you’ve posted, I’m still refreshing. 😂
you’re right, the tank is oddly large. I’m very surprised they release the tank since they make the packages precisely for the amount of water their tanks are. I feel like that tank would be hard to maintain for people that wouldn’t know of that information.
Thanks for watching all the videos Lynn! Really appreciate you supporting the channel. You should try raising some yourself some time 😁
Cool tank, and great video as always! I missed out when they had the "bundle set", but I'll be sure to get one if it's re-released!
I'm still curious where these bundle sets came from, they just kinda appeared out of nowhere. Hopefully they do come back up for sale at some point 🤞
Thank you for another interesting video!
Sea-Monkeys Ocean Adventure is a kool idea, but love your recommendations for improvements. Thanks for sharing John.
I would definitely love that larger tank. I totally agree with the light suggestion. Hope the do are release
I love the size of the Ocean Adventure tank! I recently created my own tank set up because I wanted a larger tank. I also had the same issue with algae growth at first and I believe this is because there’s nothing for it to grab onto. I added a little mountain range with a few attached synthetic plants to mine and that seemed to be the solution! I think to make this tank even better if they do re-release it would be to add the iconic volcanic mountain range to the base, make the light with both battery or plug in options and give the light some different, customizable settings!
Brilliant! I like that it gave more room and more shrimp to look at! I’d be interested to see how triops do in it. (The lights I could take or leave. I agree they should’ve given options on the way the light worked.)
New video!! Im excited
Great video as always! Very neat that it has a light feature, though I also agree that I wish you could choose one color for it instead of it switching to multiple ones. Strange that it’s not a built in feature as the fish tanks I had were all able to do this.
The light up feature looks really good and I like the extra space as long as the sea monkeys are happy with being in a light show.... I'd use this for my sea monkeys holidays!
Great video, John! I've grown to like this tank a lot too. I have both versions, but am only currently using the newer one without the graphic. I used two sets of packets and fill the water to the top of the highest magnifier. Seems to work well.
I've also wondered about the lines at the bottom. The only thing I can think of was that this jar was repurposed from another product. Who knows though...
Ah yes I remember you put a little castle ornament in yours! Do you still have it in there? You might be right about this tank being repurposed, it would explain the unusual size. I tried to do some digging but couldn’t find too back background info on this one, I’m guessing it’s probably something they’d rather forget 😅
@@pico-cosmos I had that decoration in the old one to try and displace water to get the balance right, lol. Didn't work too well. I'm using the new one now with no decor. It's doing well though. Looks similar to yours in this video.
I would absolutely love one!
Come to that... I would love anything in the way of new and different designs!
Once again thank you for the fantastic and informative videos!
loved this video. the tank is quite neat although i agree with you on the lighting, i’d probably just rather a single color. otherwise i like that it’s roomier than the standard! thanks for sharing.
Nice tank. I wish big tanks like this were more common, even if they require more salt.
I've recently got a decent sized one from the "KOSMOS Saltwater Creatures" kit they sell here in Europe (not sure if its available elsewhere). It comes with a salt package much bigger than typical sea monkey envelopes and a lot of eggs (enough eggs for you to try hatching several different times.. I have used ~1/4 of the packet I think and it was enough to get my tank full of little baby artemia).
Oo thanks for letting me know about this! I'll look into it and try to review that kit on the channel 👍
I like the larger size, although I see what you mean about being round, they swim in circles instead of the longer viewing time in a flatter tank. The light would be great if it was just on or off, or could be set for 8 hours or something. What a huge oversight to not provide enough water conditioner to make the tank inhabitable! Thanks for another great tank review, John!
Woohoo more content! Ngl i like aquatic animals and this got me back into small creatures which got me back into entomology
On a side note I'm still waiting on shipping for sea monkey packets
I feel like the ocean adventure tank was a really good idea, but i wish they would get rid of the magnifying bubbles!!
I loved the idea of the tank and you did a good job growing your sea monkeys. Its a shame about the light as it had good potential. But all in all, you turned it into something that was usable in the end 😊
Thanks for the lovely video! I think I'd maybe be interested in getting an ocean adventure tank if it came out again without some of the design flaws. One thing I want to thank you for on your videos is having the captions on. I really appreciate being able to see the captions since I sometimes struggle with deciding what people are saying, so it's always great whenever I have the option for captions. Ta!
Oh to be honest RUclips does those captions automatically, it's not anything I do on my end. Glad to hear they're working well for you though!
Honestly this tank would have been awesome considering the light feature and the larger size if they had just included an extra paquet of aquarium salt in the box! :o
I love the light in the tank And I also agree with all the bad and good or pros and cons you mentioned in the HOLE video!!!!!!
Great thank. I always thought they needed to release a big one with 2 packets of eggs. A shame it’s cylindrical and not something more fun though. I think it needs a textured floor to help support algae though.
Love to see the inclusion of a light on this tank.
This is a cute tank, reminds me of a jelly jar In a way. If I had a sea monkey tank it would have to go in the kitchen since it's the only place with good indirect sunlight at my place so I guess it works out!!
I really like the larger volume.
The lines, weird idea but maybe an indication line for actual substrate?
Would definitely get this tank if it launched
Wow!! What a unique tank!
I think the ocean adventure tank is pretty cool, its definitely a change from the regular tank you can commonly find and I hope it comes back.
I would definitely get this tank!
Not a fan of the light switching.
Thanks John for your videos!!
Thanks for supporting the channel Stacey : )
Great video as always! A simple but functional aquarium to easily observe sea monkeys. My favorite aquarium, like you, is sea monkeys on Mars 😊
Only thing I can think of for the two sets of plastic lines at the bottom of the tank is that maybe it was designed to later clip into something bigger, or those were guidelines for where to put a decal? Otherwise maybe to catch the light from the lid and scatter it in a different way? 🤔
All good theories! I still have no clue though 😅
Again a very cool thing with light... really enjoyed this... I need to find a kit! Does kinda look like a jar tho... still, cool!
I like the idea of the Ocean Adventure tank, but I feel terrible for any kids who couldn't get their kits started properly on that first go around.
I agree about the light. It would be more practical and soothing to have a constantly on light that shifts colour (maybe dimming slightly?).
I think an ocean adventure tank in the future could have something in the middle of the tank creating visual interest, like the Mars or Robo Diver tanks! Perhaps a coral structure, or some kind of 'plant'? Something to make it feel more adventurous.
Yeah a coral tank ornament would've been perfect for this kit!
What a interesting tank!
Great video. 😎👍💯
I Like the tank but the colored lights turning on and off would give me a headache.🤕
If it had a button to keep it with one color and stop from blinking that would of been great.
That is a really neat tank, i love how the light could change colors. Sad that they discontinued it, though I can understand why! Thanks for the neat new video and hope you have a good day! ❤
I really hope it does come back one day! With a few tweaks this could be a decent kit
Yes! With some tweaking it could definitely be a good kit! That would be great if they brought it back then!
YAY ANOTHER PICOCOSMOS VIDEO!!!!
🙌
The Ocean Adventure tank has it's advantages just like you said! I love the volume. The lines on the bottom make no sense at all (I also don't like the distortion when viewing my monkey's ;) ). The double lids are redundant so I'd probably just use one or the other but only after my babies grew up as well as I also use the heating pads and low-set air-bubbler thanks to your tutorials and affiliate page! I've actually learned a TON from your channel so thank you so very much! This is my new favorite hobby. I've even made my first "sea monkey" video (comedy)! They are not easy to film for sure! I would definitely use the tank though! 🤗
The blue lid definitely makes it look like a jar of peanut butter, but it's still a cool tank. Great video!
😂 love this. They should've called it "Sea Monkeys Peanut Adventure"
Would definitely buy an ocean adventure if it was released again. Just hope if they do they'll bring it out in the UK. Love your channel has really taught me so much. Thank you.
That Ocean Adventure kit seems nice enough but without the constant light change.
I love that you change up daddy artemia’s facial expressions in the thumbnails 😂
Lol my photoshop skills aren't great 😅I try my best though
I would love to have such a large tank, but I do agree that the random lines, abrupt light change, and lack of texture for algae growth would have to be addressed before I would purchase this tank.
Thank you for another great review.
Cheers Benjamin :)
crushed it as usual🌊🐒
Haha thanks Karina!
Wow, what a fan-tastical kit ❤
i've always liked the idea of a larger tank. oh well at least i now know why it doesn't happen often. and i wouldn't mind one of those if they re-released them with larger pouches to accommodate the survival needs of the sea monkeys
Larger pouches for bigger tanks is such a great idea! I know that years ago there used to be a jumbo sized Plasma III packet, though as far as I'm aware that's the only one they've ever made that was larger than the conventional packets.
another great video!
Thanks Steph :)
I do love the tank for its size! Even brine shrimp deserve more space ❤
Honestly, this is probably my favorite sea monkey tank on here aside from the ocean volcano. I love its big size since I like to give my pets a lot of room to swim and the double wind design is pretty cool. I do feel it’s unnecessary though i’m not a big fan of the lights that they put into the tanks. Overall though, this is my favorite tank and I’d love to own one
I quite like the design along with the lights. I always thought they should make a larger tank to allow more freedom so its nice to see!
Yeah this one definitely doesn't feel quite as claustrophobic as other Sea-Monkey tanks, the larger size was a nice change
Hi John, my son Sem (9) loves your vids! And sends a big hello from Holland…congrats on your achievement! 🎉🙏 fingers crossed for the tank 🦐🌊
🥳 didn't know people were watching over in Europe! Thanks for supporting the channel and good luck for the giveaway :)
I like the fact that it's bigger. But I don't like those lines you mentioned on the bottom of the tank. Also would be nice to have some more space to fit an airline and heater in through the lid. And having more control over the light. I think with some slight revisions it could be an excellent tank.
Hi John,
I am by no means an expert in aquatic life care, but I do understand that water chemistry is delicate and can be more difficult to maintain in smaller tanks. I wonder if moving to a larger tank design had this delicate balance in mind- but wasn’t cognisant of all the variables. I‘m still learning myself! Didn’t realise how important water chemistry can be!
It sure is a very cool idea though, and I‘d love to see more larger (but better planned out) sea monkey habitats in the future!
Yeah larger tanks definitely have more stable water parameters, though water quality isn''t quite as important with brine shrimp as it is with fish, because brine shrimp have a really high tolerance to toxicity. I definitely think larger tanks are still a better way to go though 👍
The lights look pretty cool.
I would like to raise sea monkeys!
I've been wanting something with a white light at the top that would fit snugly into a lid, so I love the idea of a little light for night-time viewing - not sure about the color cycles though.
I found your channel and I got super nostalgic, reminded me of the time my mom got me those from a toystore. Would be cool to get another chance to relive those moments!
Its weird they make a tank where the animals wont survive in. not the best engineering!
The jar looks too homemade, but the light is cool! Would love to see lights added to more sea-monkey kits.
It's a good idea if they make a few changes to it. I first thought that it looked like my blender cup, if not for the magnifying spots lol
I think that it is definitely an interesting idea for a tank. Having a light, although not optimal, does seem like a nice addition. The shape of the tank is a cool look in my opinion, as it would fit with a lot of the vases and jars on my shelves. I think hiding the battery pack and switch is a good call, as it may not look as nice if it was always all hanging out.
Yeah that's a good point about the covering the first lid. I still find the whole lid system such an odd design though 😅 this whole tank is just full of oddities
Love learning new things about the Sea-Monkeys never knew there was so many kits out there. Never have owned them always wanted to but never seen any in stores when I was growing up. After watching your videos for a while now they see so neat and I understand more about them. I wonder if the bottom rings were maybe to fit on stands that they never made, they made two lids why not multiple stands you could choose from?
That would’ve been a super cool idea! Not sure if that’s what they were going for but different tank base options would be so fun
I like the larger size of it, I got a fighter tank which is way to small for a fighter but at 5 times the size of your normal sea monkey tank is quite cool to watch so many of them swim around with so much space
I do like the Ocean Adventure Tank! I will definitely try it out if they go forward to reproducing them. Thanks for all the great sea monkey information!!
The jar looking design is kinda nice in its own way, but it's definitely harder to see the sea monkeys with the curvature going the whole way round the thing.
I missed the chance to get it last November from Wards and when I went to look for it online it was gone 😂. That's what I get for being indecisive. The two-lid system seems a bit unnecessary since the lid with the light has slits to allow for air circulation as well. Plus leaving the top lid could lead to condensation above the battery pack and that's a disaster waiting to happen. Overall I think it's a neat tank but it could certainly do with some sort of molded substrate on the bottom to allow for algae growth easier plus it is a bit plain, maybe the company will eventually sell micro accessories to decorate the tanks like mini plants or even furniture. If I get the chance to get this tank at some point I might put aquarium sand or thin gravel on the bottom plus fake plants to give it a livelier look. Great video and hope you have a great day 💜!
