Green Sea-Monkeys! | The Secret To Healthy Brine Shrimp

Algae growth is the secret to a Sea-Monkey tank's success. In this video I give my 4 best tips for promoting the growth of phytoplankton and give a tutorial on how to do it. I use an Ocean Volcano brine shrimp tank and also talk about why culturing microalgae to feed them separately is beneficial.

Im absolutely obssesed with this channel, especially now that im considering buying sea monkeys as a pet to keep me company during college

[bricktonmcbricks]

Micro ecosystems have always fascinated me. The idea of an entire ecosystem existing in such a small area is just mindblowing

[howlsz]

Hey man I doubt you'll see this but I love your personality! I'm not interested in buying sea monkeys but hearing someone talking to me about them is very interesting and I love how passionate and knowledgeable you are on the subject. I hope you're doing well :]

Because of this channel I've got 6, 10oz sea monkey kit, a half gallon tank, a 2 gallon tank and a 10 gallon tank of sea monkeys, all thriving. Also because if this channel.

My husband said no more...

And I said, for now 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

I think the fact that you live near the sea plays a bigger part in the proliferation of marine phytoplankton than you imparted in this video. i havent started keeping sea monkeys yet, but as someone who’s landlocked, i doubt I’ll have much luck with spontaneously generating saltwater microalgae. I’m probably gonna buy a bottle of live phytoplankton to get my culture started instead

Id just like to express how excited I am about your content and channel! It fits right into a niche I appreciate in a fun topic and I think you're a great presenter. I also would love to see maybe a bit about your photography job. I've always enjoyed biology and while it isn't sea monkeys, your job sounds quite interesting. Any ways thank you for this content! I've been having lots of fun watching and especially learning from it. The microscope adds a fantastic element to your explanations and is just pretty :)

I’m loving the updates and evolvement of your channel John! You capture the sea monkeys so beautifully

[Drennababy]

I just bought my micro algae fertilizer and grow light! Ever since I found your first video almost 6 months ago I took the dive and got my first sea monkey kit. Words cannot express how fascinating this journey has been so far! I never would’ve imagined I would be buying a gallon tank, special lights, and so much other stuff to support these little creatures. But watching them grow and thrive has been so amazing. Thank you for having your channel and showing that there’s so much joy to be had raising tiny creatures. ❤🥹

I’m so excited I ordered the volcano kit that you recommended and I really hope everything goes well. I’m also buying a a heater Bing water heater and I really hope that it’s gonna work because I can tell that my cat will probably love to watch some incense, sea monkeys and Brian shrimp. Don’t feel as much pain has another animal just in case anything happens. At least they wouldn’t suffer.

Fantastic video! I love how you make your content extremely educational but also amazingly entertaining!

[Venom-kfjp]

This is super interesting. I've never had sea monkeys. I feel like understanding that biology will help me with keeping other algae eating species and fish.

[Crabbycrustycrustacean]

Always good to see a video from you, John. You're always very informative and you're the best of the best and I can't wait to see all the experiments and tanks you'll review.

New video! This channel has suddenly become one of my favourites and now I’m obsessed with sea monkeys thanks to you!

[garrett]

Thank you so much for all the helpful info John! I love what you're doing with the channel and how informative it is. Have a great day 😎

DUDE LOVE the channel keep up the great work dude!!!

[ElyseDobson]

Awesome video John. Thank you so much again for taking the time to spread your knowledge 🙂

[cursebird]

Excellent video! Instructive and helpful. Thank you.

[danielmooney]

Hey! Loving the channel and have a little question, could even be a video idea? I wanted to get a slightly larger tank and a few people have said to get more starter packs to do so. I’m guessing it’s for the salt level, but can I just add more salt? If so, how much salt to water? Thanks!!

[MakerOfTheBlackSword]

I’ve never seen so mich effort put into sea monkeys
