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.

Congrats to @ashburger9082 for winning the giveaway for this video 🥳

[@sentimentalexis]

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

[@eddvcr598]

Same, I think the glitter in the transparent blue looks really nice.

[@TheHoboPig]

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

[@pico-cosmos]

Thanks! There are some other great Sea-Monkey KZbinrs too, check out Sea Monkey Dude when you have a chance 👌

[@edward002gaming]

Same because of it i want a sea monkey

[@nanoyusof]

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!

[@video-warehouse-s8973]

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!

[@pico-cosmos]

I hear that a lot too, but with proper care it’s not too difficult to keep them healthy. It took me a few tries to get things right though 😅 I think the transparent castle looks great with algae too! That was my least favourite tank before trying them out, but I’m definitely a convert now

[@gaillupia4533]

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!!!

[@copland]

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

[@pico-cosmos]

I have a feeling that in a few years finding those standard magic castle tanks will be pretty hard to come by! Definitely like this new blue castle version though, it’s a nice change

[@gulliblesbabbles]

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

[@pico-cosmos]

I’m so thankful you managed to find that tank! This video would’ve definitely been incomplete without it. A transparent purple castle would definitely be a good idea 👌 it’s cool seeing the evolution this tank has gone through over the years. Who knows where it’ll go next 💫 I like the themed designs of the domed tanks, I’d love to see something similar in an Ocean Zoo shape. I’m excited to review the ghostly gallion set soon, I love the sunken ship in there! Thanks for the kind words regarding the video. Now on to the next one 🎥

[@gulliblesbabbles]

@@pico-cosmos : Ghostly Galleon. There’s another one that has been reincarnated so many times in so many ways. There are TONS of variations. So many so that I don’t know what all happened when. I know what the first iteration was … if I can find it. I must still have a few SM boxes in storage that never made it to bins. Anyways, that’ll be a fun and meaty video for you to produce. I was involved with ExploraToy then so Gregory should have some insight into that. 👍👍👍

[@pico-cosmos]

@@gulliblesbabbles Yeah I've barely looked into those sets yet, but from what I've seen it seems like the variations and re-brandings are endless. I actually remember always wanting one as a kid but never getting it, so it'll be like fulfilling a childhood dream when I finally get around to it 🙌

[@timbefer532]

Picocosmo have you ever had difficulty with setting up tanks.

[@Segafishy]

@@gulliblesbabbles I definately would look forward to that one, being a Pirate loving kid it was a 50/50 between it and the Shuttle and I'm praying I still have it and its intact somewhere in my parents loft so I can use it again.

[@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!

[@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

[@pico-cosmos]

That's a really good point actually! Didn't even think about that but it's definitely easier to focus on the Sea-Monkeys in the crystal blue tank

[@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 KZbin channel

[@pico-cosmos]

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.

I really like the look of the algae growing on the castle, reminds me of moss and vines.

[@pico-cosmos]

So true! I bet it'll keep looking better with time as more algae grows

[@victoriadimaunahan3283]

The set are so cute ngl and the fact that some of them are transparent would mean it would really go well with rgn lights and stuff aesthetic

[@pico-cosmos]

Oo that’s true! I never thought of that. Would be cool if they made a little LED lid for this tank

[@chucklesticmccormick5828]

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

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!

[@BeckyA59]

Very cool! I never tried sea monkeys. I like that clear crystal castle, you can get a better view of the little swimmers

[@DukeofBlasphemy]

This so sweet, giving these animals the proper care and love of a normal pet. The idea of treating living beings like a toy always rubbed me the wrong way. I'm glad you're doing the opposite.

[@SonicFan2525]

Really been looking forward to this one! I think it was my childhood love of fairytales and medieval imagery, but this has always been one of my favorite designs. I think I like the 1990s version the most because of how retro the base looks, but the modern version is just as cool. The Japanese crystal tank is such a unique take on it and gives it a more "magic" feel too. I definitely want to get into raising Sea Monkey's soon and this will probably be my tank of choice. Thanks for making such informative content!

[@pico-cosmos]

That’s a good point! I didn’t touch on the fairytale aspect here but it’s clearly where the inspiration has come from. The ‘99 magic castle tank is so tiny but the small size makes it really cute, I think I just prefer the brighter colours of the new tanks. Good luck with your Sea-Monkeys when you get them and feel free to reach out if you have any questions

[@casserCOM]

@@pico-cosmos I was recommended the video "Are sea monkeys real?" via the KZbin algorithm. I occasionally watch videos on "strange" animals and "strange" history. Sea Monkeys are an interesting topic. From both an evolutionary standpoint, as well as their somewhat controversial rise towards pop-culture superstardom. Not only are many people unaware of what these creatures even are (or even knew if they truly existed, as many children had been given kits with eggs that had never hatched), those who were aware of their presence look back on the experience of raising Sea Monkeys with fondness and nostalgia. It also helps that the history of Sea Monkeys has been controversial, with many children expecting literal monkeys or sea-people to appear in the tanks. Also the fact that Harold von Braunhut was a bit of a twisted individual makes for interesting discussion.
