The Living Bioluminescent Bio-Orb - a Living Glass Sphere Powered by Ocean Plankton (PyroDinos)

My son has been obsessed with bioluminescent plankton for many years, so when I saw this product, I just knew I had to gift it to him. It arrived yesterday, and we set it up immediately, reading the instructions carefully. We didn’t expect any glowing for a few days, but much to our surprise, not only could we actually see the plankton during the day, they started glowing immediately on the first night. They seem extremely healthy and happy, and we are so excited to keep our tiny plants alive. Thank you for the chance to have something so fascinatingly awesome in our home!!

The media could not be loaded. I bought them as Christmas gifts, knowing full well I’d have to open them and get the process started myself. They arrived fast with perishable on the box.One is for my husband (and no longer a secret after I squealed when it lit up the first time about 4 days later), the second is for my brother and I’m a week in so just fed today. And then swirled tonight - pretty sick illuminated blue- and I am most excited to give this other one to one of my favorite humans. We are fascinated with the bioluminescent bay and it will be such a great opportunity to give my brother a part of that.I read some of the reviews and was so worried, bit the bullet and went for it anyway, always the pessimist thinking it wouldn’t work. However it did… but seriously open it immediately and follow what it says!Love how nature has so many really amazing organisms we can observe. When we get to having a lot of them we will get a bigger globe, and not waste the fascination! Thx, again and again. It gets brighter the longer you have it and after the first feeding I was addicted and will continue feeding and growing them. 😁😁 happy bio nerd.

We have had it for 9+ months and it is still glowing. So much for your science loving kids! The glass orb is beautiful and looks nice on a shelf. Great for people who love plants and is fool proof care for! Easy to set up and glows immediately! Great value!

Bought this for my son for Christmas, followed the instructions.. It never glowed. Super disappointing

Wonderful so far waiting for glow

The media could not be loaded. I am a compulsive shopper and will pretty much purchase anything (within reason) that intrigues me. I watched a YouTube video that had this product in it and thought it was so cool that I wanted one for myself. It’s insane how these little guys emit actual light. It’s mesmerizing to watch and fun to show friends and family. It would make a great and unique gift, especially for those who are interested in marine biology

I should add that it was summer and I live in Florida... but if your in a high temp area, I would think twice about ordering... I will probably reorder in the winter. - Thats assuming the 98 degree weather was the reason.

The media could not be loaded. This is a shockingly good idea that is also well executed. Products are as advertised. Customer service set some new standard for responsiveness with the accuracy, speed and completeness of their answers. It's not that I needed customer service to fix anything I just had some questions about long-term care and the starting weights of the hardware so I could keep records as I watch them expand. If you're not careful you'll end up with a new hobby and might end up buying their entire product line piece by peace. It happened to me. I now have a new hobby. You can enjoy these on many levels from oh wow look at the pretty lights, to the enzyme reaction that causes the light and the genetics behind it. You'll never look at algae again the same way. I wish I had this when I was 6 years old but it's not too late for anybody. These are the Original Gangster sea monkeys. It is an erector set chemistry set or just an art display or maybe you're subversively becoming good at saltwater aquariums and didn't even know it until it was too late. In the right hands this could accidentally produce a new generation of natural philosophers
