Thanks for the shoutout, John. I’m glad you didn’t refer to my new illustrations as “terrible but charming.” (Whew — dodged a bullet there. 🤣)

I’m always happy to contribute to your content however possible. It’s nice that my collection is being utilized in some fashion other than taking up space in my home. And I certainly appreciate the quality of your work and the exposure you bring to the Sea-Monkey brand and to life’s little aquatic miracles of nature in general.

Out of all the new packaging art that will be coming out later in 2023, I’m the most excited to see the upcoming MagiQuarium product for sale. It’s the most in-line with the direction I think the packaging should take in general — more emphasis on the logo and the fanciful characters and less “little elements” watering down what should be the focus.

Thanks again, John. Excellent video with tons of fun and interesting information. -- Tod

"there's something charming about how terrible it looks" this is how I'm gonna describe myself from now on

[JimmyTyner]

Don't feel bad about you opening them, you're allowing all of us to experience opening them with you, and we wouldn't have that experience without videos like this. It's not just about how we couldn't because of the prices of some of these as you mentioned, the main reason is theres a limited amount that have been produced, and there's just not enough of them left for us all to open one. So you're helping us, your viewers, by providing us with opening experiences like this.

'Children will delight..." Meanwhile all us adults here are drooling

14:25 adding the 3d printed lids to your shop is a great idea, there seems to be so much potential for modding these existing tank designs as well. I thought the modded volcano zoos you and others have shared are very neat too

[lucyeccles]

Aw Hatchy is so cute! Love this glow in the dark aquarium! Another great video! Thank you ❤

[MichasCreatureCorner]

I seriously love that lid, it definitely needs to be incorporated into the normal ocean zoo tanks

[benjaminstewart]

It's really awesome to have Tod as a part of the community for your channel, we love the sneak previews.

Sea monkeys look so cute! I'm considering having them for the first time, it will be amazing seeing them swim around and watching their behaviors.

Roughly 5 years ago I started getting really interested in spiders, which led to arachnids in general, which led to invertebrates etc. Now here I am raising sea monkeys for the first time since I was 8.

Love your videos John. Very fun and informative!

[gemmaKins]

I've just got my first sea monkey kit 2 weeks ago. after years of wanting them an your channel was the very first channel I came to. I got all the info from you an also provided my sea monkeys with all the accessories from the list you provided I truly appreciate all the info an ideas you have given I don't think I could of gotten this far with my sea monkeys with out it. I absolutely love my little sea monkeys. I can't wait to really expand their environment in the future.

Also, I'm addicted to your videos. I love all your sea monkeys. they are all loving life, bless them ❤️

[tammyturner]

Love these tank. Agree the 1 with the sticker on the back seem more effective. Cracks me up that the instruction mentions children several times when adults seem to be the biggest fans!! ❤️

[stevorso]

Thanks for sharing! I remember seeing the magiquarium ads in the early 2000s after several kits I used in the 90s, but I never ended up getting one.

[deathstinger]

love the glacier-clear GBA cameo on the nightstand

[peppersha]

I definitely believe that your LED lid just finished the tank perfectly, castle 🏰 theme.
I'm now looking at a vase in a new light.
Thank you for the inspiration.

Hi Pico it has been over twenty years since keeping sea monkeys when my don was tiny. Do glad to find your channel subbed. 😀

[crossmirage]

the glow in the dark sticker is a really cool idea, a sticker fully covering one side would be fun i think even if it sacrifices some visibility in the daytime

[BlueKitsuneSakai]

These videos have been addicting to watch lately! Really a blast from the past for me!

[lisamaree]

im so glad ive found your channel. im learning how to make my seamonkeys thrive.

[paprikashman]

Great tank! Looks like an interesting place to raise sea monkeys
