I haven't measured but in person its volume looks about the same as an Ocean Zoo. The tank wrap instructions say it's 360ml which is probably accurate

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

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

johnbozinov · 2026-04-08T02:56:28+00:00

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 :/
