AND ADJUSTING FLOW

RATES

Maturing the aquarium filter

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.

IMPORTANT:

Jellyfish are highly sensitive to freshly mixed salt water. The settling period allows the water to 'age' and

stabilise chemically, and for the bacterial colonies to establish on and within the media.If using fresh mixed

water with a pre-matured biologically active filter (live rock rubble) then the settling period may be reduced to 1

6.b

week.

Adjusting the flow

Once livestock is added, the flow rate should be adjusted, This can be done by turning the flow adjustment grill

on the intake of the circulation pump

the animals are very gently circulated around the aquarium at a rate no more than that required to prevent the

Jellyfish from settling out on the bottom. This rate of flow will also help keep food suspended in the water

column where the Jellyfish can feed effectively.

For information specifically relating to Jellyfish husbandry and water quality

testing, we strongly recommend reading the included 'Jellyfish Husbandry

Guide'

(Fig2:

C). For best results with Jellyfish, the flow rate should be such that
