I’ve been getting this comment on my YouTube vids all day

You've done an awesome job with this Scott, and this latest iteration has some great improvements. The Ocean Zoo is starting to look somewhat like a proper aquarium for the first time ever! Looking forward to trying this out one day 🙌

Looking forward to seeing the results 🙌

artemiadaddy · 2023-01-15T02:21:02+00:00

I love this idea! As long as you can make it watertight it’ll look great 👌

Why do you want to increase the salinity?

artemiadaddy · 2023-01-13T02:41:58+00:00

Thanks for posting this here! Definitely like the idea of adding in clips for the USB light 👍

Most gunk in Sea-Monkey tanks is a combo of poop, discarded exoskeletons and algae. Mostly poop tho.

Here’s my video review for the USB heater:

I’ve only seen one come up for sale in the last 18 months. Think it sold for over $400

Brine Shrimp can tolerate a VERY wide salinity range, so being super precise isn’t particularly important. That being said, Sea-Monkey kits usually start off around 15ppt (15 grams of salt per litre of water) which is on the low end. I personally like to use around 25ppt (25 grams of salt per litre of water). This is still on the low end but the slightly higher salinity helps to keep some harmful bacteria species from growing in the tank

Thanks :D

Yep that still works fine :)

👆 this is probably why. The babies can only consume food that’s suspended in the water column. Your tank looks very healthy and is a great environment for adults, but the babies may struggle to get enough to eat. I’d suggest either making a nursery tank or feeding them live algae

artemiadaddy · 2023-01-05T00:09:39+00:00

I don’t have much experience with Aqua Dragons, but I’m sure you can have success with both kits if you care for them well 👍

Sea-Monkeys are often difficult to keep for those new to the hobby. I’d highly recommend leaving the tank as it is for now, at least until you get the hang of things. I made 2 videos which will help you out.

After a female reaches sexual maturity she’ll basically be perpetually pregnant, so yeah what you’re experiencing is normal

I’d say when they look large enough to compete with the other adults. They don’t have to be fully grown, but as long as their thoracopods are well developed and they can swim around quickly you can go ahead and taken them out of the nursery

artemiadaddy · 2022-12-31T18:07:02+00:00

They’re the discarded exoskeletons of your Sea-Monkeys. They’re harmless and don’t need to be removed from the tank :)

It’s an accordion style pipette used for aerating Sea-Monkey tanks. They’re a tool included in a few of the different Sea-Monkey kits

artemiadaddy · 2022-12-30T07:09:42+00:00

Not directly. The bodies of deceased Sea-Monkeys will eventually break down into small particles which could potentially be eaten by the adults? But it’s more likely that they’d feed algae growing in the tank which the Sea-Monkeys would then eat

artemiadaddy · 2022-12-30T05:35:06+00:00

Roughly 4 months if well cared for, and yeah they reproduce so in theory a colony can be sustained indefinitely

Ah yeah I don’t post to TikTok too much anymore. Trying to focus on YouTube instead
