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.

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.

Hey Daniel, starting a DIY tank using your own salt is possible, but the whole process is a little complicated. I will make a tutorial video one day :) if you want to know what kind of salt to use, it’s the same stuff I use in this video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gTRl8cu7jlc.html

The algae in my tank is thriving, but my seamonkeys don't pass the two week mark😢 Hatch rate is good, using a heatmat with 24h AC, aerating every day, feeding them the right amount once a week and gets indirect sunlight, is there anything else I can do to keep them alive?

@pico-cosmos Год назад

Are you using distilled water? In my experience using an airline in the tank makes a huge difference in those first few weeks. One of the greatest enemies for Sea-Monkeys is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a gas which all animals naturally produce but is more important to underwater animals than to land animals. In water, some of the carbon dioxide forms a compound called carbonic acid. This is a very weak acid but it is strong enough to kill Brine Shrimp. If there is too much carbonic acid present in your tank, Sea-Monkeys cannot make use of the oxygen that is available to them. As a result, they suffocate. So for the best results (and as a precautionary measure), put an airline into the tank as soon as the first babies hatch

@waltermanson999 Год назад

Do you know the kind of algae that grows in their little tanks naturally? I have decided to start a algae food source before another attempt at a sea monkey tank. Having this food source ready may give the new tank a better chance. However, I need a culture. You can get some online. I thought it was spirulina, but it doesn’t look at all like what yours looks like. I thought of just making the salt water mixture and throwing in the algae growth food and just…waiting.

@pico-cosmos Год назад

The algae species that grows in the tanks will differ a little for everyone. I’m not sure what species mine is, but my guess is that it’s most likely Nannochloropsis Oculata. Nanno is a great algae as it’s VERY small and easy for the babies & adults to eat. Dunaliella Salina is a great option too

Hmm that’s odd :/ any chance the tanks are getting too hot? I’d try reducing the amount of food you give them on the first few feedings - they need barely anything those first couple weeks

I have a question. How do sea monkey eggs last so long in a little packet? Is there some sort of expiration date or is there some twist they do to keep the eggs in perfect shape?

@pico-cosmos Год назад

It’s an evolutionary adaptation. If the conditions are really good they can survive in their eggs for over 100 years

My experience with my sea monkeys was kinda weird because mmt sea monkeys died (all of them) and somehow, they resurrected from the dead.
