Moon jellyfish care

[eric1283]

I am converting a tank into a pseudokriesel jellyfish tank does anyone have any good info on moon jellyfish care I think its time for my next challenge and I've always loved moon jellies and we have more than you can count here at south padre island.

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.

yea they design special circular tanks for them and it has some kind of crazy way of getting flow into the tank itself

 

[eric1283]

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

So does anyone here have experience with these

corner proofing the tank this should be interesting, looking good so far were are and what are you doing for filtration?

 

[eric1283]

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
