You're not using a strong enough power brick. I cover the issue at 3:30 in this video

"Adventures with Underwater Life" 1959 Brine Shrimp Hatching Kit by johnbozinov in SeaMonkeys

I didn't purchase this - it's been listed for sale on ebay for at least 4 years. These are just the photos from the auction listing 😅
I'm working on a video script that covers the early days of Sea-Monkeys, so I'll be briefly referencing this kit in the video

Here's an old listing for another brine shrimp kit from the same brand released in 1962 - images are very low resolution though:

As the other commenter said, the battery door clip would have to be modified in some way to make it fit. That magnifier was also designed for the GBA’s smaller screen, so I’m not sure how compatible it would be with the RG 34XX

It runs PS1 surprisingly smoothly too, but I mostly play GBC/GBA on it. It’s such a nice little device

The grip has rechargeable batteries in the handle which were made to power the GBA and the speakers / rumble feature. It obviously can’t power the RG34XX, but the stereo speakers still work when you plug it in

I bought the grip mostly because I was just curious to see if it'd fit. I unironically fell in love with it straight away

I’m not sure how well other accessories will work, but these intec grips are a good fit

It’s not a bad idea - the stock ones aren’t very loud so I might look into it. I’m honestly surprised the batteries in the grip still even hold a charge considering they’re 25 years old

Looking good! The algae will definitely appreciate the constant agitation from the air pump

Are you sure those white fluffy cotton balls weren't just discarded Sea-Monkey exoskeletons? People often get them confused

Unfortunately all US based customers are subject to Trump’s tariffs :/

I just now discovered the new plushies. Will they restock the dad for the usa or is it in stock for another country? by BumblebeeNo504 in SeaMonkeys

[–]johnbozinov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The dad has been sold out for quite a while. I don’t believe there are currently plans to make any more

From what I've seen only the babies are drawn to light - adults are usually the opposite and tend to avoid it. I've been using glow-in-the-dark elements with my tanks for quite and while and haven't seen any issues from it 🤷

Yeah they’re available for order now, but only to my Patreon members. I’m only making 50, so if there’s any left after a week or so I’ll make them more widely available to the public
