Living Light from Plant-Plankton at Night
Turn up the volume with the Large Bio-Orb
The Large Bio-Orb includes two full PyroDino pouches and a Large DinoNutrient pouch to provide the maximum glow. The Large Bio-Orb is powered by PyroDinos (Plant-Plankton) and requires daily light (like a plant). At night the Large Bio-Orb provides natural light (Bioluminescence) when swirled or moved.
Like a Houseplant that Glows
The natural blue light produced by the Large Bio-Orb is called Bioluminescence (light from nature). Taking care of the Large Bio-Orb is like caring for a houseplant, daily light and moderate temperatures. DinoNutrients can be added twice a month to create more PyroDinos! More plant-plankton! More to glow - more to share - more to show.
Cleaner air and less CO2
The Large Bio-Orb has a silicone stopper with a small hole to allow air exchange. In goes CO2 and other pollutants and out comes fresh O2.
Plant-Plankton like the PyroDinos in the Bio-Orb is responsible for most of the air we breathe. Scientists estimate plant-plankton produce up to 70% of the oxygen in the earth's atmosphere.
Powered by Natural Plant Plankton (Algae)
Just Daily Light and Moderate Temperatures
Bio-Orbs can last several months to a year or more
With only daily light from filtered sunlight and/or artificial room lighting The Bioluminescent Bio-Orb will grow and grow, creating more and more light over time. And by adding more seawater (DinoNutrients) you can expand (grow more) to experiment and share. There is no limit to how much you can grow!
Learn more about this amazing plant-plankton
We call our Plant-Plankton (aka Phytoplankton) 'PyroDinos'. PyroDinos are marine microalgae that are also referred to as dinoflagellates. These dinoflagellates are found in Oceans worldwide and provide the very basis of the Ocean Food Web. By converting CO2 and sunlight to Oxygen and simple sugars, PyroDinos not only supply food for ocean fish and invertebrates they also produce fresh O2 for us to breathe. In fact the ocean's phytoplankton produce more O2 than all land plants combined.
Understanding our Oceans
The Large Bio-Orb with PyroDinos is a wonderful window into our oceans. The Bio-Orb is a great introduction for aspiring marine biologists and hobbyists. Several aspects of biology and natural science can be learned from this simple algae-filled orb. Find more information about the Bio-Orb and PyroDinos at PyroFarms.
Simple to Grow
PyroDinos are grown on a sea farm in San Diego and not removed from the ocean. One PyroDino cell was isolated over 10 years ago off the coast of San Diego. From this one cell, PyroFarms has grown all of our PyroDinos under LED and natural lighting. Simple to grow and easy to grow.
Natural Light at Night
PyroDinos produce a natural light at night called bioluminescence. PyroDinos will only produce bioluminescence during nighttime hours (dark cycle), in the dark, while swirled. The natural light is transient and will only occur while the PyroDinos are in motion. Enjoy them in the Large Bio-Orb or your favorite clean, clear container.
Sea Life Better with PyroFarms
The Large Bio-Orb can be filled and poured off into new containers. As your Bio-Orb fills it can be poured off into new containers. There is no limit to how much you can grow. The Large Bio-Orb is ideal when half-filled but can flourish from 1/4 to 3/4 full.
Living Light at Night
Powered by PyroDinos, the Large Bio-Orb will provide natural light at night.

I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase of the Living Bioluminescent Bio-Orb. This large 6-inch glowing glass sphere is not just a decorative item; it's a captivating piece of living art.Firstly, the concept of this Bio-Orb is fascinating. It's powered by ocean plankton – tiny bioluminescent organisms that light up the orb. Watching these microorganisms glow in the dark is a magical experience, akin to having a piece of the ocean's mystery right in my living room. It's both educational and mesmerizing, making it a great conversation starter.The craftsmanship of the orb itself is commendable. The clear and beautifully shaped glass provides an unobstructed view of the plankton inside. It's large enough to be a statement piece, yet it fits perfectly on my desk, adding a unique touch to my home decor.What makes this Bio-Orb stand out is the natural beauty it offers. The glow is subtle yet noticeable, creating a soothing, ambient light in the room. It's like having a natural night light that's both soothing and fascinating. The way the plankton moves and lights up brings a sense of calm and wonder, making it a perfect addition to any space that needs a touch of serenity.The maintenance is surprisingly easy. It comes with clear instructions on how to care for the plankton, ensuring that this living ecosystem thrives. I appreciate the low maintenance aspect, as it allows me to enjoy the beauty of the orb without too much work.TL;DR: The Living Bioluminescent Bio-Orb is an extraordinary product that brings the wonder of bioluminescence into your home. It's educational, mesmerizing, and beautifully crafted, offering a unique blend of science and art. For anyone looking for something truly special and awe-inspiring, this Bio-Orb is a must-have. It's a glowing testament to the beauty of nature, and I highly recommend it.

I received them (6 inch version) in the mail via USPS which caused me a little concern (January in Chicago). I left them in the bags under a light until I went to bed. The next morning I could see a little glow when I moved them near a window but I didn't want to disturb them too much so soon. I transferred them to the sphere that afternoon and the next night they were spectacular. I slowly turned the sphere and it was like millions of fireflies. The flashes reflect off the bottom and sides which makes is spectacular. Like any annoying aquarium algae, if treated right it should last/reproduce/multiply for many, many years. Even if they would only last a couple of weeks, it would be worth the price for children to see and learn. There's an enclosed booklet which gives enough information for care/knowledge and for a basis to do some good online searches for more information if you want more in depth knowledge. Very happy with the purchase.

Amazing product, glows very brightly and adds lots of character to whatever space you put it in. One way to take this product to the next level is get an extra liter of dinos (with the other 2 bags the large is filled about 80%), then get a magnetic chemistry stirrer. Swirling the dinos works perfectly fine but feels a bit unwieldly in your hands especially with extra liquid, chemistry stirrers are designed for this perfectly and you could even hook it up to an outlet timer to have it go off at different periods at night.

I was so excited to get these, but never got to enjoy them as there was a crack in the orb. I filled the orb, my hands got damp but thought it was from tranfering the liquid, and placed it in a North facing window to get sunlight and recover from shipping, came back at night to see if they lit up and found most of the liquid had seeped out. I wish I could give a review of the dinoflagellates themselves but I never got to see them light up.
