Now I REALLY want to get jellies of my own. Thank you so much for doing this, since there aren’t many jellyfish care and tank setup videos out there at the moment!
I had a jellyfish art tank about 10 years ago now.. Probably one of their first models (the round one). It was almost impossible to keep up with the water levels.. I'm hoping that some advancements have been made. Maybe the larger tank is the saving grace here. I spent a lot of my week back then trying to keep things balanced.. but it was a losing game. All of my jellies shrank down to the size of a penny and vanished. I hope the company has made this product more viable in 2023.
A 10 gallon would give them enough room to grow and less stress ables them to stay healthy will promote a longer healthy life. But need a back up if power goes out to reduce their stress.
Great video! I just bought the Nano 3 and have a very basic but important question. Once the water has been added and you need to leave for 2-3 weeks for the bacteria to grow should the pump be on or off?
Loved the entire video! But one question please! From everything I’ve learned, I’ve always been told to never mix the bag water and tank water. Is this only pertinent when you already have fish in your tank? Thank you so much for your help!
Maybe it’s to late to say this but: If you have a cycled tank with fish of any kind you do not put the water from wherever you bought your fish or whatever you’re adding reason of that is because that water may contain parasites or other bacteria from sick fish as you never know how fish are taken care of also it is recommended to have a quarantine tank to not add the new fish right away as the same thing they might be sick and spread what they have, it is recommended to have them there for couple weeks
How do you lower ammonia levels? Our tank was set up for two months, and our amonia peaked last night. The jellies are still doing fine, eating and pulsating fine. But I know they’d do better in cleaner water. We did a 45% water change last night. Still the same readings. :(
I'm soo confused you said you're upgrading the tank for your jellyfish but you did an unboxing for new jellyfish for the new tank. What about the old jellyfish, did I miss something 🤔
@@oaktree8429 so he took them out of his old tank, then bagged them put then in Styrofoam and taped the box? So he can do an unboxing for the new tanks. Sorry kinda lost
What kind of tank do you prefer for someone starting out? Sorry I forgot to add also, which type of jellyfish you you prefer for beginners as well as the type of tank?
Moon Jellyfish are prob the easiest ones to start with. As long as you feed Freshly hatched baby brine and keep your tank clean they should thrive. As for tanks the JellyFishArt tanks are the only ones i have actually used to keep Jellys in. amzn.to/2UVCmpW
This is what I need! I'm from the Philippines and would love to have the cylinder and nano jellyfish. However, I dunno where to start. Hope you can help me! I love this video! 😍
Not sure if ur still active. But when buying the jelly fish kit its said to come with jellyfish how. What am I supposed to do with the jellyfish wile it cycles? Or do they come shipped separately
Hi, I had questions about keeping my aquarium. Despite what the description said on Amazon said about my salinity meter, it doesn't measure ppt, it measures ppm, however, I've found contradictory information over what ppm means. I thought it meant parts per million, but is that really accurate? The other problem is that I cycled the tank with blue-legged hermit crabs. But I haven't ever changed the water since then even though I plan to before I actually get a jellyfish to test things out, and I'm afraid that maybe that won't be enough, and that the crabs' shells may also be dangerous to the jellyfish. Should I put them somewhere else?
So the jelly bio starter says it speeds up cycling so that it only takes a few days. Would it still be recommended to wait 2-3 weeks even with that in mind?
Your videos are extremely informative and fun! I'm hoping to invest in my own kit soon. If you end up doing a giveaway with the old setup, I'd have my fingers crossed!
I am such a sucker. I'll buy the thing just to have a jellyfish projected on my ceiling, then put sandwich bags in it or something. Beautiful? Yes. Lazy? Also yes.
How you feed them , I just got his tank . Do you have a video of that. I have those eggs that came with it and the hatcher. Can you please guide. Thank you
Great videos. I'm curious about what you like about the 5 gallon versus 2 gallon tank? Curious if there are things you like about the 2 gallon better? What do you think are the most important factors to consider between these two tanks? Do you like the flow or movement of the Jellies more in the 5 g or 2g?
The 5G is the same Flow style, its just bigger. Only real big difference is there is 2 air uplift columns in the back so you can control the flow in the tank and through the filtration a little more separately where the 2g is all in one. Both great tanks! You can fit more jellys in the big one! hehe.. it really depends what fits best in your space.
Hi I’ve been trying to find information on jellyfish and sound, are they sensitive to low frequency noise, I was thinking of buying a tank for a music studio, I was thinking of a coral tank too, could you give me some information please, I play edm so a lot of repetitive bass, I’ve always wanted a tank in there but I know I can’t put fish in it for it would torture them and I can’t find information on jellyfish or coral, so if you read this any information would be appreciated, First time here and will subscribe and 👍 Thanks Jonny
I can't answer this as an expert on care or anything but Biologically Speaking, Jellyfish don't have Ear's so the only reason Sounds would bother them is if you were somehow playing music that was at a Resonant frequency with their Bodies, in which case they would....blow up. But as far as i know that's extremely hard to do and you'd basically have to do it on purpose. They are 95% water so they should be fine with roughly any sounds since they lack a Brain and Ear's. For regular Fish, i don't think it'll bother them much, most Fish don't have ear's and if they do they don't function the same as our's because Water Density makes Sounds travel differently along with decreasing the range that the Sound can travel. In addition if you did have really loud music playing next to them, they would probably just assume the Earth is shaking or something similar and ignore it. The only aquatic species i can imagine Sound being an issue is Octopus.
Wolf Gardiner I find them pretty easy and low maintenance. The hardest part is hatching the love baby brine with takes 4-5 minutest every 4-5 days. So it’s really not bad at all. Aside from that I give t a little water change every week or two. Pretty easy :)
I give it far less maintenance than my reef tank. I think they are pretty easy to keep. give them good water and nutritious food and they will be happy for a long time!
Hey devin , saw that at reef a palooza .. cool to see it up and running. I think you said you do your own brine shrimp hatching , how time consuming is that? And do you feed everyday?Just curious due to not always home.. I do have phytoplankton going and have found that very simple, actually have to much lol. Would like to start doing some Pods soon. Anyway I digress looking good, and look forward to some updates
If your drawing too much power for the gauge of the cord then yes it can heat up.. everything in this systems is extremely low power! its essentially a led light and an air pump.
I'm thinking about starting a jelly tank, but I have some question i hope you can answer for me. Do you keep the flow of the water on or off during the 2-3 weeks before the jellyfish arrive? And do you advise to make your own reverse osmosis water with help of an osmosis installation or do you advise to just buy it? (PS: love your account!)
Thank you! Yes keep the flow on form day one! you dont want stagnate water. I have always used RODI as its "pure" and which means less change of random chemicals, chlorines, nutrients ect making into your tank. also helps prevent algae.
I have a question. The link for the fish tank sells their tanks as kits, along with the accessories mentioned in this video and also includes jellyfish. What do you do with the jellyfish if you have to let the tank cycle for two weeks?
They need a special tank with laminar flow so they stay suspended and done get "stuck" anywhere. you dont want anything else in the tank with them as they are very delicate.
Would love to get some more advice! Got the newest Cylinder 5 this week for my birthday, and have watched this video nearly 29 times haha! They didn’t provide salt for the brine shrimp, and there isn’t really good directions as to what to do next. We mixed the water, used the hydrometer and got the water to the right levels, but now do we add the bio starter? You already had cycled water, we are starting from scratch... that’s where I’m getting confused. Do we need the brine shrimp before we get the jellies to create the nitrates? Clearly, we need some expert advice. Would love to hear from ya! 🤙🏽
Happy birthday! yes add your cycle media to the tank. Brine shrimp are for feeding the jellys so dont start hatching them until you get your jellies :)
ReefDudes thanks brother! So that should be it for several weeks now? We wait? also, we may have gotten the salinity correct, but there seems to be a build up of salt on the bottom of the tank. It’s not much, but enough to catch our eye. Is this okay? Or should we get it out?
I will admit I jumped around the video, but I thought this was about moving your existing jellies into the new bigger penthouse tank? Then I see the new shipment. What did I miss?
You are keener! I gave my buddy 2 along with the old tank. The original video was pretty long so I got aggressive with editing to get it to a reasonable length :).
This is one of those things I really want but dont need
gzruztit jgzods5i that sounds like most things in life :P
This is totally what I feel.
I probably needed to see this comment lol
I agree
Yep
u genuinely look so happy talking about your jellyfish aw
saltwater things make me happy :)
It’s so wholesome
Now I REALLY want to get jellies of my own. Thank you so much for doing this, since there aren’t many jellyfish care and tank setup videos out there at the moment!
WaterSpriite you are most welcome :)
I want a fucking jelly
This is awesome, and props for keeping the jellies for 1.5 years!
Thanks! I'm half curious to see how old I can get them :P
They live for 15 months
@@ReefDudes update?
Could you put video on cleaning tank day or/and weekly as my Jellies do have a lot of left overs :/ and detailed instruction on their feeding?
This is really fun for the aquatic community. This is such a new and daunting concept of having jellyfish!
They are pretty cool to keep! Kind of like a living lava lamp! The harshest part is making brine shrimp which isn’t to bad :)
Can't wait to get one of these! Been eyeing it for a solid year but has taken backseat to other non-essential expenses 😅
I had a jellyfish art tank about 10 years ago now.. Probably one of their first models (the round one). It was almost impossible to keep up with the water levels..

Thank you without videos like these probably the first few jellyfish I got would have died luckily I haven’t lost any so far.
Love the jelly fish tank👍 My wife wants you to set up a seahorse tank so you can teach her (actually me) how to set one up and care for them lol.
I have debated seahorses too haha was going to do one a year or two ago but couldn't find any dwarf seahorses so ended up doing Jellys instead :)
Yo these are popular now but good they’re so pretty 🤩
What a great tank! I never thought people could actually keep jellies...👍💪🤘 Great Vid
They are surprisingly easy!
@@ReefDudes I was told it’s high maintenance. Daily water changes, feeding them throughout the day and keeping the temperature on point or could die.
How much does the kit cost on jellyfish art?
They are all
Sold out and I can’t see the price ahaha
1400$+ I think
330 for the cheapest one
I think Im gonna try it. I'll keep you posted with the new project!🤙🏻
Awesome! good luck! :D
@Jose Morey any updates?
Thanks for the view of the water tester that was generally cool to get a view of what the inside would look like 👍
They look so real!
It is!
Cuz they are real lol
I am getting the nano tank and I am really excited for it. I want to get 2 small jellies, thanks for posting this!
A 10 gallon would give them enough room to grow and less stress ables them to stay healthy will promote a longer healthy life. But need a back up if power goes out to reduce their stress.
I'm not sure jellyfish experience stress, they don't have brains or nervous systems, they're just there tbh.
Regardless you want them to live so I do suppose having them contained in a proper tank is important
Great video! I just bought the Nano 3 and have a very basic but important question. Once the water has been added and you need to leave for 2-3 weeks for the bacteria to grow should the pump be on or off?
Gareth Hopkins leave the pump on. 3-4 weeks of running will help it establish itself
Great, now I have to get this!
hahah you will love it!
I didn’t know these existed. Pretty cool.
Its like a living lava lamp! very relaxing to watch !
Loved the entire video!
But one question please!
From everything I’ve learned, I’ve always been told to never mix the bag water and tank water.

Awesome :-) I want to save up for them and make sure they live in luxury
I'm soo confused you said you're upgrading the tank for your jellyfish but you did an unboxing for new jellyfish for the new tank. What about the old jellyfish, did I miss something 🤔
Do you mean how they were in bags? Thats how you get them used to the temperature change! ❤

Thanks Lisa! much appreciated :)
I get my jellyfish tomorrow but noticed a ton of particles floating in the tank and at the bottom how can I clean that before they get here ?
I was wondering if these were legit or like those scam betta set ups, thanks for the review!!
Thank you!
Hi how many Gallons is that tank in the back ? With the beautiful fish 🐟
Where do I find the Tank in white ? I’m only being directed to the black Thanx in advance
I have an identical fireplace, white brick and all, I think that's a clear sign that I must buy this
Impeccable logic hahah
Not sure if ur still active. But when buying the jelly fish kit its said to come with jellyfish how. What am I supposed to do with the jellyfish wile it cycles? Or do they come shipped separately
They ship the jellys a few weeks later so you have time to cycle your tank
What type of tank is this on the website linked in the description I see 4 different selections

When do you usually need to do water change?
these videos are great. :) i think I might buy some of my own, keep up the great work!
Soo can I feed them phytoplankton? Or do I have to do live brine shrimp?? Or copepods all the time?? And how often do you feed??

I got the Jelly’s but they have sold out of the aquarium for a while now
Do you still have this tank? Is it still successful?
Had it for a few years, I did trade it when i was going out of town for a while / doing renos. Ill likely get one again at some point.
If you still have these you should do an update video!
How do you clean the tank, and also how do you do a water change.
Thanks for the video!! Is it possible to have a jelly tank with live plants? I haven't seen many videos (none really), and I'm a huge plant nerd lol
Jellyfish are very delicate so you dont really want anything in there that they could bump into.,
Sir hello this AQ
Jelly fish aquarium from where you buy can you give me add
There are jellies that are immortal
Wait, can I put jellyfish in any type of aquarium? I want a diverse aquarium but I'm not sure jellyfish will be suitable with other marine life
