My mom and I had 2 sets of sea-monkeys before she past she said she wanted to get some more sea-monkeys. It's been 5yrs now since she left but I finally ordered a set , we loved our sea-monkeys and I'm looking forward to have fun with them again.
And that's an awesome set looks very fun to watch them swim while enjoying some popcorn , wish they bring it back.
That's very sweet
The appearance of this tank is so cute! I've always loved movie theater themed items. Very nostalgic 🍿
They definitely did a great job with the themed design here! I was surprised how much I liked using this tank
i love the idea of big show being a night light on a table stand instead of a traditional lamp. i bet i would’ve loved the idea as a child too
Same! I recently discovered you can get USB adapters for AA batteries, so I'm going to give that a try 👌
“Equally ridiculous as is it wholesome” describes Seamonkeys _perfectly!_ I wish the company would take you onboard as a consultant because you are almost always correct when you point out flaws and ways to fix them. While I think this tank has an interesting concept, my issues with it are exactly those you pointed out. With a brighter LED (and batteries that can either be plugged in and/or charged) it would make a great nightlight! I think I’m going to try and find something similar to this because I love the idea of having giant sea monkey shadows on my bedroom wall. ❤️ from Canada
ETA: I think a video on appropriate tank mates is an awesome idea and I look forward to a future video on the topic!
I was not expecting the projection to look as cool as it does, very interesting stuff
I enjoy the concept of projecting them onto a wall, wish there was a modern version available with a USB for sale. The inclusion of a smooth front with no magnifying bubbles is also perfect!
I would absolutely love to see more tank mate videos!!! I really enjoy all of your videos on the sea monkeys because I've learned so much about the healthy way to raise sea Monkeys.. Thank you soo much!!!
🙏 glad you’re enjoying the content :) I’ll definitely work on creating a tank mates video
Love that you’re looking for buddies for sea monkeys. Having a more diverse sea monkey tank would be so much fun!
Loved the concept behind this tank, but I agree with you about its features. A usb-powered light would have been great
I love the projector style tanks, watching the shadows on the wall is so cool! I'd love to learn more about the tank buddies like the snails!
It seems a lot of people are interested in the idea, so I’ll definitely make a more in depth video about tank mates 👍
The tank looks neat, but my favourite part is probably the lack of the magnifying bubbles. I wish they'd do that more often.
I also wanted to say that I really appreciate you showing us the entire thing all in one video, unlike some other videos where they say to wait two weeks, and you have to wait two more weeks for the video to come out. I find I've often totally forgotten about it by then, so I really enjoy how you condense the time down for the viewers. It really makes me realise just how many tanks you must have going at once to be able to have consistent uploads. Kudos!
Totally agree about the magnifying bubbles! It definitely makes this tank a lot nicer to look at. Glad to hear you’re enjoying the videos too :) I usually have around 3-4 tanks set up at the same time waiting for the Sea-Monkeys to finish growing 😅 I’m probably not going to do another Sea-Monkey tank review for a while though, going to focus on some slightly different content
What would have been convenient is a slot for that magnifying glass so there was a spot to keep it. Being clear, that would probably be the first accessory to get lost.
This is probably one of the coolest tanks ever created. Thank you for sharing it with us
never seen this tank before but i love it! vids are great as always!
Thanks! 🙏😊
Honestly this is so interesting. Never heard about sea monkeys untill today. Great video keep it up. I would love to have these one day 😃
You can really tell that they put a lot of thought into the design of the tank. I really like the idea of the sea monkeys dancing around. The only thing that bothers me is that they chose design over the quality. Great tank though!
I'd def like to see more about the snails and other tank mates with sea-monkeys.
I agree with you, I wish they had a plug in version for the light show or at least a charger. That being said, it is a really cute design.
Ahhhhh we finally got tank mates 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you for this. And yes we would love to see more tank mate videos 💛
I have another tank that also has copepods with the Sea-Monkeys, though they’re so tiny that they’re basically microscopic, so I’m not sure they count 😅 I’ll keep searching for those Moina Salina eggs
Sheesh. That big show tank is definitely really neat! A stronger light + power cord would definitely take it to top tier imo
I love the different tank design for live sea monkeys tank and how kids can learn about living creatures with out getting an expensive pet some people don’t want and is really easy to set up.
Awwww. As a snail lover, I like the buddies you added to the tank.
If I had that tank as a kid, I would have used the projector light every night. I was terrifoed of the dark and I loved my sea monkeys ❤
This video was really relaxing to watch! This tank's design is amazing, very nostalgic!
I really found the tank extremely cute and cool. loved the fact that the tank had a magnifying glass instead of those pesky bubbles. great video
These videos are so high quality and well made because you spend months to make these videos. I even made my own sea monkey colony after i saw some of your videos!
🙌 that’s awesome! What kind of tank do you have for yours?
It would be nice to see a video on tankmates. I really like the fact that this tank doesn't have the magnifying bubbles as well. I feel like the magnifying bubbles actually obscure the image more than helps you see them really.
Totally agree 👌
I've been in the theater most of my life since my parents run a theater company, so it's a very nostalgic tank. Love It!
Ah that’s awesome! This sounds like the perfect tank for you 😁
Kool design & love the projector aspect which gives an added feature that you can share with your family and friends. Thanks John for sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍
who knew that these would be collector items 🤣
Haha yeah it is a little surprising! Collecting this stuff seems to have become a little more popular over the last year or two which is great to see. Hopefully the hobby continues to grow 🎉
@@pico-cosmos your definitely helping people discover the hobby
The big show tank was just awesome I really loved the protection on it overall a 9.4/10
@@pico-cosmos yeah i really enjoy your videos and i got the sea monkeys magic castle kit for christmas and you really got me interested in them i had the colony for 2-3 months
@@JaydenFnafPlushKing yeah it was cool,my personal favorite tank was the diver one
This is easily my favorite Sea Mokey Special Edition set I've seen on the channel. Would love to more stuff like this surface on the channel!
I'm slowing working my way through all of the different tanks 👍 this is definitely one of the coolest concepts though
I agree that its a bit annoying to lose so much of the bottom of the tank. I love the top design though and I always love to see you review these. When I was a kid I only had sea monkeys once but I always saw them in the store and wanted them. I remember seeing so many of these tanks but I could never have them because we didnt have a lot of money. Watching your videos makes me want to purchase one for my adult self. My friends already think I'm weird so it would fit my aesthetic
I was the same as a kid! Always wanted this stuff but could never get it, so it’s fun to finally try it all out now :) you should totally get some! Embrace the weird 💃
I really like that Sea-Monkeys Big Show tank with its theatrical theme which would be perfect for anyone, but particularly for someone with a home theatre setup/screening room/media room to add to their movie enthusiasm and in terms of adding that USB mini heater and an aerating stone, I suppose one could carefully drill two holes in the lid to accommodate the width of the tubes.
Great video as always, Picocosmos. :)
That projector thing is actually pretty cool.... it makes me want to try and DIY myself something similar.
Yeah it’s definitely possible to DIY this idea! I tried it out in my video review of the Sea-Monkeys circus tank using the flashlight on my smartphone and it worked really well 👍
The Amazing Live Sea-Monkeys Is A Super Blockbuster Hit!!! Thank you for sharing @Picocosmos👍👍👍👍
Haha cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed the vid 🍿
That kit was in great shape for the age. It was a very cute idea however, I agree about the blocking of the front it is annoying
Haha yeah it seems these tanks always have at least one little design flaw which makes them a bit frustrating to use. This one seemed to get most everything else right though
It's not a design flaw. It is that way so that it projects as it does. Without the light would not project the shadows of the sea monkeys properly.
Might be better if the light could be raised up just when the projector is in use
@@pico-cosmos Then it wouldn't reflect the light in the appropriate direction making the projected shadows even dimmer.
I love how this tank doesn't have the magnifying bubbles, that always bothered me with the normal tanks. also I agree with the night light idea, I would've loved that when I was little!
Watching your videos always takes me back to watching the sea monkeys episode of Phineas and Ferb as a kid! Such a cool vibe!
Out of all the tanks you have shown us that's my favorite. . . . Me and my 4yr old daughter love watching your videos thank you!! 💝😊
Aw that’s sweet 🥰 glad to hear you enjoy watching them together
Cool tank! I would love to watch the show for hours.
I completely love this tank. I wish I had known about it when I was working in a theater. It would have sat on my desk!
And yes to the companions!
These sets still pop up on ebay every so often! Though the prices are a little high these days. I managed to get this one for $90 about 18 months ago, though it would likely sell for over $200 now
Like the way this tank looks. It's super colorful.
Omg it would b so nice to watch the shadows at night, so relaxing
Finally a tank without magnifying bubbles and with built in light😍
This is probably one of the coolest tanks I've seen
A bright, colour changing light would be very cool with this!
whaat? a vintage tank you can win!! i really would want a vintage one john.
Oh the Ocean Treasure isn’t vintage 😅 it’s actually one of the newer tanks that you can still buy, it doesn’t seem to be too popular though
i never really thought about sea monkey tanks till a few months ago when i found your channel its nice to see your channel growing so fast
:) thanks for supporting the channel
This is actually really cool! I expected it to be a gimmick but I'm pleasantly surprised!
This tank is absolutely beautiful. I love the design of it!
The light isn't the best in a bright room - not keen on it but I love the overall design.
Great video as always, John, can't wait for the next one.
The big show is exactly what is called! Love it. I bought sea monkeys for my ten year old son. He loved it and with everything it offers,sounds amazing to my son and I. Just wanted to drop a like and hope we have a chance.
Its a charming tank given the gimmick and it doesn’t always hurt to experiment with them either, though theres no denying the tried and true classics.
Oh wow I never thought of putting tank mates in. I also like that the magnifying lens is a separate pieces for this set. I do wish this set didn’t obscure the bottom of the tank as much as it does and that they still put on some form of substrate but I guess they couldn’t go too crazy with the design to keep it cost effective to produce.
This tank is really cool, I hope sea monkeys makes more of this creative offers on their tanks, also, that prototank on the back looked awesome
Yeah I loved the square shape too! I wish they'd gone with that instead tbh
I had a chance to buy this tank several years ago, and I didn't do it, and have regretted it ever since. It's a neat idea! Admittedly you can recreate the effect yourself with like, a flashlight, I suppose, but not nearly as neatly and adorably. Love the video and really appreciate the full review of the tank!
Personally I'd love to see more of your take on tankmates for sea monkeys. I've found that the tiny marine invertebrates are more common as live cultures (usually as feeding stock for marine tanks) than as eggs--maybe that's an option? I've debated getting some myself to try acclimating them, though, but haven't gotten around to it. And oh! I've also wanted to try snails for the absolute longest time! Love your little mollusk friends and glad to see they seem to be doing well. The main thing that's kept me from snails is trying to find some in the hobby that are small enough for a Sea Monkey tank, as I don't know of any tide pools near me and I'm unsure of the protected status of wildlife here (Florida) besides.
(I tried to post this from my invertebrate hobby account, Itty Bitty Beasties, but for some reason the comments wouldn't load over there. So personal account it is I guess, and sorry this got so long!)
These tanks still come up for sale every so often. I got this one for $90, though I imagine with the way the market is at the moment they would now for for a fair bit more than that. Glad yo hear you enjoyed the video :)
This one's fun! Definitely would've grabbed my attention as a kid more than some of the others, something a little more interactive!
I just love the novelty tanks, and this one is one of my favorites... modern version powered via USB would be great
Honestly, I love this kind of thing- as you said, I'd like to use it as a nightlight- though it need a power cord for it. It's really amazing though, not to mention the little light screen. I'd just set this up and watch it until I fall asleep.
I do think this one is pretty cool - but I worked in movie theatres for 15 years! Great video, thank you.
Oh wow😮this sounds like the perfect tank for you then! Ha
"let me know if you want a more in-depth video on-"
YES! That would be so neat to have a video on. It would make the tank a little more lively and make it feel like a "real" fish tank.
I love this set! the idea of the projector is just awesome!
never even seen this tank before thanks for the review
its probobly my 2nd favourite tank right after the space shuttle tank
It seems a few people didn’t know about this tank! Glad I could show it to you :)
It is so awesome! That tank is really amazing.
I think the big-show is an awesome idea. It's also easily adaptable, and a non led night light would provide warmth.
I would love to hear more about Sea Monkey tank mates. Also, I really love the projection on this tank.
A very nice toy, I loved seaonkets as a child and for some reason still love the idea at 56 🤣🤣🤣
The big show tank is pretty cool! I agree that some of the sea monkey products can be overly cheesy / gimmicky, but this one seems to work ☺️ thank you for the great content, love your presentation style and production quality!
Pretty cool tank! I like the lack of bubbles on the side.
Love the Big Show kit with the light, also your snails, interested in what can live with them!
I think I need to pay another visit to that rockpool to see what I can find in there. It was had a bunch of shrimp and small fish too, though they’d probably eat the Sea-Monkeys 😅
The tank looks great, I especially like that there aren’t any magnifying bubbles on it.
I would have loved to have that as a kid!
Have a look at "USB Battery Eliminator" kits; they step the 5v of USB down to the right voltage to replace a number of AA or AAA batteries. Some have alligator clips to grab the metal bits the batteries make contact with, but there's also kits with dummy batteries which can be easier to fit.
Personally, I just find a 3v or 4.5v power adapter and solder it to the battery contacts, but that can be a bit much to ask a kid to do...
Thanks for the tip 👌
Sea-Monkeys Big Show is so cute and a wonderful idea especially for kids even bigger kids too. Right @Picocosmos. LOL. 🤣🤣🤣 Love the video... Cheers!
Absolutely love the Big Show tank’s idea of a projector, hopefully something similar is tried like that later on with a stronger light and a unique base design. I did find a globe aquarium with a light that might be a good project for a ceiling projector
Seriously love this tank! Man I need to get into this! You always show such cool aquariums and have such respect for the creatures.... thank you!
Ebay is the best place to look if you’re after the vintage tanks! They come up for sale quite often but they’re a bit pricey these days 🤑
@@pico-cosmos sound advice, thank you!
I really liked the look and feel of the tank. I loved how it had some extra items for the imagination of the children.😊
The circus themed ones have to be my favorite, sad they're so rare! Great video man, I've probably binged half of them within the last while, thinking of getting my own sea monkeys sometime soon
Thanks for supporting the channel 🙏 and you should totally try raising some! They’re a lot of fun and low effort 👌
Always love your videos, brings back memories of sea monkeys when I was a kid. I would definitely love to see more tank mate videos! This is a topic I was researching recently and couldn't find much on.
Yeah there's not a whole lot of good info about it online. I think the only way to figure out what works is to experiment
i remember experimenting with shadow puppets as a kid. i still do it today! sea monkeys AND shadow puppets??? that’s a godly combination.
I remember buying one of these many years ago. That tank has shrunk a lot over the years.
😊
I love this idea, and the tinker in me has ideas on how to improve the projector. Would make a great addition to my horror hosting show.
You can not go past how adorable the "theatre" base is! Especially with the ticket girl waiting to help with your ticket inquiries. Would love to see same same but a more modern version without the need for replaceable batteries.
Also am very interested in upcoming vids re SeaMonkey tank friends!!
Awesome tank, would be nice to have an updated version.
Thank you for showing that tank, I never would of been interested in it. I appreciate how you show the good and not so good things about the tanks and include some history about the artwork. When I was a kid, I used to use a flash light to project the Sea-Monkey images on the wall. I had seen the little screen for sale at Sea-Monkeys and wished I would of bought one now. I am very interested in seeing more about Sea-Monkey buddies like the snails. I love your videos, keep up the great work...
Awesome tank! What a cute and unique little design ❤ I also love the lack of magnifying bubbles
I like the idea of keeping a diverse ecosphere inside these sea monkey tanks, just so the space is used to its maximum efficiency, and having a more naturally diverse tank is really cool.
If only I could keep salt water fish, and just have Brine shrimp swimming around in it!
Haha that would be cool! Though I think most fish species would probably eat the brine shrimp 🙃
@Picocosmos more than likely, considering they're a food source for most captive fish.
But the idea would be that the shrimp would make enough babies to avoid being wiped out.
Like, putting fish inside an already established large colony, with plenty of space in the tank.
Sea monkeys are so nostalgic for me. I remember being so excited as a kid when I got a sea monkey tank, then disappointed when my sea monkeys looked nothing like the ad artwork. With age though, I've grown to really appreciate these little creatures for what they are.
Tis the cycle of life lol
Your reviews are always so compelling! Thank you for all the time and effort that goes into your content.
🙏😊
The projector is pretty cool, nice tank and video!
This might be my favourite tank so far, I can't believe how many variations there are. I think the visibility is really good and the projector light works alot better than I thought it would.
And yes please do a tank mates video!
Wake up babe, a new Picocosmos video was just uploaded 🤣
I always see your videos right up top of my youtube when you upload em and click on it asap, love this content so much!
Ah that's awesome! Thanks for watching the videos and supporting the channel :D
that IS a big show!
i remember watching a few sea monkey blogs talk abt these years ago!!! i love em! also YES please to a video abt other things you can keep sea monkies with!
That’s such a cool tank and the snails are adorable too!! As someone who loves movies I wish I had that as a kid
Wonderful set.
i went and got some popcorn to eat well watching this since the theme is a movie theater
🍿
It's great to see you do a review again, i absolutely love the fascinating creatures, and by how much sea monkeys has changed over time ~-~
i js got back into sea monkeys after a couple of years and im planning on doing it right this time i bought two sea monkey tanks (magic castle and treasure one) and i set them up last night and ur videos helped me soo much im planning on buying purple glow lights a mini heater and air pump for each tank and try to make a tank for algea right now i have them on a heat mat with a regular lamp as a light scource and im excited to see how i go with my new hobbie :)
I would never think id enjoy watching sea monkeys vidro, they are so relaxing. Thank you!
This video brought back so many memories, I had one of these and absolutely loved it. I love your videos and hope you continue to produce such great content thank you for what you do.
🙏
I love all sea monkeys tanks
What a unique tank! I think it would be very relaxing to watch the Sea-Monkeys swim before going to sleep. Love your content. I've been a Sea-Monkey fan for around 35 years 😊
I really enjoy these and watching your enjoyment of them 😊
Another benefit of you opening up products and sharing them with the world is … I had no idea there were specialized instructions inside the Big Show tank. I looked inside my opened one and sure enough … there they were. It’s now been scanned and added to my digital archive.
It seems like most of the novelty tanks are interesting to have and to look at … but not very practical for viewing Sea-Monkeys. Something for Dragon-I to think about if they ever expand the line to include more interesting tank designs.
I also opened up an English languages ExploraToy Ocean-Zoo kit from Italy today. It had an interesting insert in it advertising all of the ExploraToy products from 2000 in Italian. Interesting. I know later on Italian translation was added to the exterior tank wrap as well.
It’s always something weird with Sea-Monkeys.
That little instruction sheet is neat huh! I noticed that that tank design on it is also very square, so it seems that was definitely the initial design shape concept.
Interesting tidbit about the Italian Ocean Zoo! Thanks for sharing Tod :)
Another great video!
I have this show and it is the one from Toys-R-Us.
Thank you for continuing to put out great content for our beloved Sea Monkeys!
I want some of those snail!
🙏😊
