Feed Jellyfish
Gently add prepared food to the aquarium chamber. Please refer to
the Feeding section of 'Jellyfish Husbandry Guide' for details on
preparing jellyfish food. Feeding frequency will depend on the
variety of jellyfish and the size to which you wish your stock to
grow.
Clean External Surfaces
Use a soft lint-free cloth made damp with clean water or Reverse
Osmosis water. Any smears or minor marks may be polished away
afterwards by wiping down with a second soft lint-free dry cloth.
Clean Internal Surfaces
Over time the internal surfaces of the aquarium including the
viewing panes may show a build-up or fine film, commonly known
as a 'biofilm' consisting of bacteria and minor algal populations. These may be removed by regular
gentle wiping with a suitable soft sponge or dedicated acrylic cleaning pad available from your
aquatic retailer.
Clean Filter Sponge
The internal filter sponges will need regular routine cleaning. The regularity of maintenance required
will depend on the number of animals kept and the amount/types of food used. As a general
recommendation, it is suggested that the sponge be removed and rinsed under hot running water
before being given a final rinse in Reverse Osmosis water at least once every two weeks.
Check Water Salt Levels
We suggest using a refractometer or digital salinity meter to test the salinity of your water. Salinity
reading should be between 1024-1025 specific gravity and 34-35 parts per thousand.
Change Water
Regular water changes are an essential and accepted part of maintaining a healthy aquatic
environment.
Whilst the built-in filtration system will help break down a large percentage of any waste and
uneaten food generated, the accumulation of organic material and lowering of water quality over
time mean that a regular routine of water changes are essential to both dilute unwanted
accumulations and to replenish vital trace elements that are provided in the salt water. It is
therefore recommended that a minimum 20% of the aquariums water be exchanged for new on a
monthly basis.
Ideally water changes should be split across at least two changes over the month. The addition of a
small amount of new salt water will have no adverse effect on any animals present as long as it is
well mixed and aerated prior to addition.
Add new water to the filter compartment. It is advisable to turn off the circulation pump when
conducting water changes to prevent the pump scavenging air.
