Ah man this is going to be a sweet setup I dont know much about jelly's but would love to follow your progress. So what size of tank is this? and what are you doing for flow since I do believe that jelly's will go to what ever is pulling or pushing water and get stuck, so almost still tank is needed i do believe.

You need to have them flow in a circular motion around your tank. Make sure they dont hit the wall though. I think they have designed tanks specifically for jellyfish. I dont know much more than that unfortunately

Please excuse the crudely drawn pic but this will be my basic design I'm starting the build today it will be a 10 gallon to start if the design is sound I will do a larger tank.

From what I have heard about the jellyfish art tank from some people that have used them is that they are death traps that's why I designed my own

Going to run a pump through the top chamber with a filter pad and some form of Bio filter media not sure if I will be running activated carbon or not I really don't use carbon unless I have some problem that needs it but I think I will also run a small uv filter on it to
