BioGlo: Bioluminescent Aquarium
BioGlo is a Bioluminescent Aquarium is an aquarium that maximizes visibility and interaction with one of nature’s most beautiful phenomena: bioluminescence.
The BioGlo contains hundreds of tiny microbes, called dinoflagellates. These dinos have the natural ability to absorb the sun’s rays during the day and emit a mysterious blue glow when shaken at night.
Enjoy BioGlo’s three engagement modes:
- Bubble Mode: Letting the BioGlo bubble next to you as you go to bed will ease your mind and help you drift off to sleep.
- Streak Mode: Like little bolts of lightning, watch the dinos dazzle as they travel down the side of the hourglass body.
- Whirl Mode: Behold the power of hundreds of dinos lighting up together at once, forming a dazzling vortex display.
Your kit Includes:
- One black BioGlo aquarium
- one set of nutrient vials and salt

We just redeemed our code for our own dinos and I cannot wait to complete this experiment with Jeffery and see how our own aquarium illuminates.
