Sea-Monkeys Magic Castle | Unboxing & Review!

An unboxing and review of the Sea-Monkeys Magic Castle kit

In this video I share the history of the sea monkey magic castle set and do an unboxing of all 3 tank variants, including the original version from 1999. I show how to set up the tank and give some tips for raising brine shrimp to adulthood. I also review the tank and give my final thoughts. In this video I also show the ocean zoo, mars and robo diver tanks.

i'm honestly really fond of the crystal blue japanese/modern variant tank. that castle color is just so elegant!

[TheHoboPig]

Man I just can't stop watching these Sea-Monkey videos, these are so relaxing

The crystal blue one looks amazing! Just got one off amazon and it’s day 5, my son is so excited on feeding them! “Mommy, can we open packet number 3 now??” I’m so glad to be able to share my love of sea monkeys with my boy! Hopefully the sea monkeys make it for generations to come!

I love this channel, you hear about how sea monkeys have disappointed people, but you do an excellent job showing how they are amazing animals to care for by their own merits. Out of the three tanks here I was surprised to end up thinking the transparent castle is my favorite version, it looks so nice when the algae grows on it!

Nicely done, John. I was so excited when I came upon that original 1999 kit for sale — knowing how much you wanted it and that it was the thing holding up production on this video.

I have sentimental attachments to the original, just because of my association with ExploraToy at the time. But my favorite of the three is the crystal blue castle. I think it’s beautiful and agree with you about making the Sea-Monkeys easier to see. I do wish however that it was a translucent crystal purple castle in keeping with the Sea-Monkeys castle home for five-plus decades.

The domed kits are so popular but I generally don’t like them. I prefer the traditional Ocean-Zoo tanks and variations thereof. That probably has a lot to do with my age.

What it boils down to is any new or different Sea-Monkey kit is exciting and needed for the collection.

Again, very nicely done. — Tod

Great job of explaining sea monkeys, I’m 64 and would love to win a sea monkey castle so I’m keeping my fingers crossed I’m alone so it would be so cool to watch them grow and thrive!!!

[Raenaece]

The crystal blue one definitely is my favourite design.

I like how it's subtle so it doesn't draw all the attention away from the sea monkeys

[StormDatIsApproaching]

Found your channel scrolling through shorts and was instantly hooked.
You're everything edutainment used to be in the prime days of discovery, animal planet and PBS. It's charismatic, unique, informative and playful with a high production and very relaxing tone. Incredibly professional too for just a YouTube channel

[copland]

Glad I bought the standard tank before they disappeared! But the clear blue version looks so pretty!

[StrikerV]

Never thought I’d get so enthralled in watching videos about sea monkeys

[felidlune]

I love how much passion you have for sea monkeys from the sea monkeys themselves to the art and history that come with the brand. I think the blue Crystal castle is my favourite set so far!

[sin-]

Yess! A new sea-monkey video. I'm actually a little glad the clear version is coming to the west since it's quite nice.

[lexallyceex]

At the start of the video I liked the tank with the colorful castle and once you actually tested them out I really enjoyed the clear crystal castle. I so appreciate the care you put into your videos and how educational and entertaining they are! Fantastic as usual!

[tigerlily]

Your content inspires me to keep expanding my sea monkey collection, it's so addictive.

[countessoflemongrab]

I absolutely adore the pink and blue castle. It looks like it's made out of wooden blocks - so charming!

[markbasilejr]

I really appreciate the care taken to ensure your brine shrimp are thiving. Looking forward to watching the On Mars review next.

[varun]

I haven't thought about the sea monkeys since childhood but I have been enjoying your videos a lot, I might just buy a new set again after all these years!

[wesleye.]

Love the clear blue castle! Super cute

[chucklesticmccormick]

Aw man, its awesome that they are letting the new crystal design circulate more! the blue shade is really killer and the see through is way better for visibility, i feel like the only trap ot doesnt fall into is the issue of size tbh
