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!

Well this sucks didn’t glow the first night I set it on top of the fireplace to get indirect sun the next day brown stuff so I fed it even though it said it didn’t need it but only if it has brown I swirled it and still nothing is glowing

Wonderful so far waiting for glow

Love that I can experience bioluminescence in my living room each night. It's so much fun!

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. 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
