The use of tap water is not recommended as it may contain excess pollutants or high concentrations
of Chlorine and other contaminants which may be extremely harmful to the aquarium inhabitants.
We highly recommend the use of natural sea water or pure Reverse Osmosis/deionised water mixed
with a good quality aquarium salt when keeping jellyfish. Pure Reverse Osmosis or deionised water
should also be used when replacing water that has evaporated from the tank.
Section 4. Maturing the Aquarium
Water Maturity
Jellyfish are highly sensitive to freshly mixed salt water and thus water maturity is very important.
a. If using fresh mixed salt water and/or artificial media that require maturation, then the
aquarium should be left to run for two weeks prior to the addition of any livestock.
Why? The settling period allows the water to 'age' and stabilise chemically. This period
also allows the bacterial colonies to establish on and within the media.
b. If using fresh mixed water with a pre-matured biologically active filter (live rock rubble)
then the settling period may be reduced to 1 week.
Section 4: Flow Rate and balancing filter boxes
The flow rate can be adjusted on each filter section by turning the handle on the valve situated
below the filter box.
IMPORTANT: The valve should never be completely shut off whilst the pump is running. This may
damage your pump and result in loss of applicable warranties.
For best results with Jellyfish, the flow rate should be such that the animals are very gently
circulated around the aquarium at a rate no more than that required to prevent the jellyfish from
settling on the bottom. This rate of flow will also help keep food suspended in the water column
where the jellyfish can feed effectively.
Section 5. Balancing the flow
These aquariums have been designed to work on a level surface. If a level surface is unavailable we
suggest removing the supplied pumps and connecting the filter boxes together using a single
external pump as shown in section 2.2.
Alternatively, we can supply a kit which connects the left and ring filtration sections together as
shown in the image below. Please contact us at [email protected] for further details.
