How to…
Feed Jellyfish
Use the feeding baster provided to 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
Use the hydrometer provided to take a sample of the aquarium water. Salinity reading
should be between 1.023-1.026 specific gravity or 30-35 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 is essential to both
dilute unwanted accumulations, and to replenish vital trace elements that are provided
