JELLYFISH Nano Tanks! - MACNA Milwaukee 2022

Join us at MACNA Milwaukee as we meet with Joe from Jellyfish Art and check out their captive-bred jellyfish and cylinder nano tanks. We'll learn how they breed, what they eat, and what the average life expectancy is. We'll also find out why their sting doesn't even compare to those in the ocean.

i used to work an small private aquarium where i cared for moon jellies and ive always wanted some of my own! but i know salt water tanks require extreme maintenance and i never knew if i could do it but this set up seems so easy and they make the shipping process so easy i might have to give in !

I'd be interested in hearing how long people have kept these systems and their jellyfish. I had one of the original 5 gallon Jellyfish Art aquariums and it was so hard to keep it going. To maintain water quality you were supposed to pick up all uneaten food after every feeding and to do a water change you had to remove all of the jellyfish, do the water change, and then drip acclimate the jellyfish back to the aquarium. Doing this every week got cumbersome and the jellyfish were constantly getting stuck in various places.

and now I lost interest in this, sounds like a PITA

[@krishnar1182]

@@ar1171 So true, that's what the original one was like for me. Liveaquaria and a few other companies sold similar units but then rebranded them for bettas and the like. The other thing is that you have to get a bigger system if the jellyfish end up surviving and growing. I've never met anyone who kept one of these smaller systems for a long time.

[@casualreefkeeping]

@@krishnar1182 since they're saying 25% water changes, I'm hoping that means we wouldn't have to go through that hassle. That would definitely be a deal breaker.

[@dafly46543]

They look real nice and elegant but the price seems vey expensive for what it is.

[@creeper17]

Some points to consider:
1. Live brine shrimp feeds will lead to hydroids growing in your system that will need to be removed.
2. Aurelia aurita of the size shown can grow to nearly dinner plate size in months if fed well. I’d like to see how they appear in an established tank after 3 months.
3. Aurelia aurita in artificial sea water have a habit of inverting, which is typically called Jellyfish Inversion Syndrome. What causes the inversion is not fully understood.

[@casualreefkeeping]

I'm curious if the inversion could be linked to a parameter that deviated from what their natural environment would have, be it po4, no3, or even Trace elements.

[@tyngchinchillachang838]

Hi would like to know more about inversion syndrome. im currently trying to solve this issue too. Managed to revert 2 inverted moon jellies by changing salinity drastically. How do you know this is an issue caused by artificial seawater?

[@creeper17]

@@tyngchinchillachang838 I don’t. I hypothesized that the inversion may be multivariate and that artificial seawater may be among the factors at play along with nutrition and flow. What salinity adjustments did you make to reverse the effects?

[@tyngchinchillachang838]

@@creeper17 i changed the salinity drastically and steeply in less than 10mins, from 1.025 to 1.015. both of my wineglass juveniles reverted back to the normal shape, albeit with elongated oral arms. They are doing fine and growing now

[@ChrisLevine14]

It’s not super clear to me what the ideal temp range is yet, he basically said “under 78”.
I also wonder if these tanks would make good seahorse tanks given shape and light water movement.

[@Cblindxp]

I broke down and bought one…2nd gen.

[@Dolphisveruny]

@The_Dude_Abides any updates since getting it? Saw someone else post they get quite big at about 3 months.
How’s maintenance?
They look so cool, but heard that actually owning one is not so easy
