5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST Sea-Monkey® kit!, January 18, 2001

Take this from a 14 year-old's point of view. The Sea-Monkeys® Ghostly Galleon® is one of the BEST sets out there. It includes the Sea-Monkey® tank, a light-up tank cover, which you can turn on and off. It is very useful for locating the Sea-Monkeys® when they are little. There is a color filter, too, to change the color of the light. It also includes the much needed Million Bubbles® air pump. You can easily aerate their water using this piece of equiptment. It also has the new Plasma III®, for bigger and stronger Sea-Monkeys®. It has everything you need to create Instant Life®. Water Purifier, Sea-Monkey® eggs, and Sea-Monkey® Growth Food, with the measuring spoon. Included is an Aqua Leash® to transport your pets from one place to another.

A projector screen comes with the set. You can take the light-up cover off, and shine it behind the tank, to project magnified Sea-Monnkeys® onto the screen. The tank has a little sunken ship glued to the bottom. It glows in the dark. Basically, this kit has pretty much everything you need to raise Sea-Monkeys®. I think the only thing they should've added were Sea Diamonds®, which are little "sea gems" for them to play with. But you can order the Sea Diamonds® from the illustrated Sea-Monkey® handbook. It's a handbook with instructions (be sure to read them!) and a mail-order catalog to buy from.

The instructions are easy to follow. Add the Water Purifier, and wait for 24-36 hours. THIS STEP MUST BE FOLLOWED IN ORDER TO CREATE THE INSTANT LIFE® EFFECT! After waiting for the appropriate time, add the eggs, and KABOOM! Little Sea-Monkeys®! The feeding instructions are clear, they tell you about Sea-Monkey® breeding, and what to do if the water evaporates. The also give some scientific aspects of Sea-Monkeys®, so they are good for a school project/science fair, etc. Everyone should have these fun pets. They ARE better than Triops®! I didn't give this product a full durability rating because this tank can easily be knocked over or spilled.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sea Monkey Ghostly Gallon, February 20, 2001

This is without a doubt the coolest Sea Monkey kit out there. It includes a light, a rubber ship, the basic sea monkey packets, plasma 3 color light filters, aqua leash, and the million bubbles airpump. These are really great, people say they get as bigh as 1" but they don't get any bigger than 1/4". And about the ship it is cool, but there is a whole on the bottom, Sea Monkeys go in but they don't come out! All around this is the coolist thing ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars HANDLE WITH CARE, April 26, 2003

This review is from: Sea-Monkeys Ghostly Galleon (Toy)

I purchased this item for my two daughters, ages 9 and 5. They were very excited to see the sea monkeys come to life and grow so quickly and became very interested in marine life as a result. They took very good care of the sea monkeys, followed all instructions on feeding, giving them air and taking care of the small tank. The built in light on the tank cover is a great bonus, because we could easily see what the sea monkeys were doing.

The only problem I had with this product is the fact that the base of the tank is very slender and tipping is a big risk. There were many times the end table would get bumped into, and the sea monkey tank would almost tip over. Finally, the inevitable happened, and we lost our sea monkeys when the tank tipped over and spilled onto the living room carpet.

If you have a VERY sturdy place to put them, this product is a lot of fun. We enjoyed it so much, that we purchased another one, and this time the sea monkeys are living happily ever after, with the tank safely on our sturdy kitchen counter, for all the world to enjoy!!
