Page 3: Section 1. Initial Set Up
The Pulse Jellyfish Aquarium range has been carefully developed rigorously tested to ensure that it offers the best conditions and caters for the very specific needs of Jellyfish. IMPORTANT: When keeping planktonic jellyfish under no circumstances should any form of media, substrate or decoration be added to the main display area. - Page 4 Figure 1 & 2. Explanation of the aquarium function The Pulse 160 has been designed specifically to house delicate organisms that would not survive in a traditional aquarium. A circular (gyre) flow is created inside the aquarium by a spray bar. The water flows into the tank in a way that keeps the aquarium occupants away from the outlet vent where water is drawn into the filtration system.
- Page 5 The filtration system is comprised of an initial slotted acrylic panel which spreads the water flow equally over the filter media. The water then passes through a mesh and sponge filter where any particles are trapped allowing them to be easily removed. Next, the water passes through another acrylic panel which spreads the flow over the trickle filter.

Page 6: Setting The Water Level
2.1 Setting the water level The aquarium has been designed to allow the internal water level to be set at two different heights. The water’s surface can be brought to the top of the tank making it invisible to the eye. In order to do this simply place the provided acrylic strip inside the top of the filtration weir. - Page 7 2.2 Adding a filter or external chiller An externally powered filter or chiller can be added to the aquarium. To connect an external device, attach the supplied hose barbs to the barrel unions on the filter inlet and outlet. Run two rubber hoses out of the bottom of the filter section to your external unit via an appropriately sized external pump.

Page 8: Section 3. Salt Water
Section 3. Salt Water 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. -
Page 9: Section 6. Using The Remote Control
Please read the ‘Jellyfish Husbandry Guide’ which can be downloaded from cubicaquarium.com/downloads for information specifically relating to keeping jellyfish and water quality testing Section 6. Using the Remote Control The remote control communicates with your aquarium using radio signals and allows you to: 1) Increase speed/brightness 2) Decrease speed/brightness 3) Set the colour... - Page 10 Temperature The aquarium has no inbuilt temperature control. This means when choosing your jellyfish you first need to know that maximum and minimum temperature of the room where the aquarium will be placed. Once you know this information, you can choose a jellyfish species that will thrive within that temperature range.
