  • Page 8: Setting Up Your Tank

    SETTING UP YOUR TANK Instructional videos available online at Jellyfishart.com under the “Support” header. Rinse your aquarium and black foam sponge pad out with fresh water. This is to remove any potential dust that may have accumulated during production. Rinsing can be done in a sink or by taking the aquarium into a shower/bathtub.

  • Page 9: Mixing Salt Water

    There are many tools you can use to measure salinity, such as a hydrometer, refractometer, or digital refractometer. A hydrometer is included with your Jellyfish Art aquarium kit. It measures salinity in both parts per thousand (ppt) and Specific Gravity (SG).
  • Page 10 MIXING SALT WATER Where can I purchase my Reverse Osmosis or Distilled water? • Aquarium shops or pet stores with other aquarium products • Superstores such as Wal-Mart and Pharmacies and grocery stores • If you are unsure about your source of water, contact us! We are happy to help.
  • Page 11 As long as you follow the water change schedule, evaporation will be minimal. Also, because our jellyfish aquariums have lids, evaporation between weekly water changes is not a major issue. As a result, the water level and salinity of Jellyfish Art aquariums tend to stay very stable. •...

  • Page 12: Aquarium Science 101

    AQUARIUM SCIENCE 101 Your guide to success! The species of jellyfish that you will be acquiring is the Moon Jellyfish, Aurelia aurita. Though a relatively simple species, there are components to this animal’s biology and aquarium keeping, that in order to be successful, you should be aware of.
  • Page 13 THE NITROGEN CYCLE How does the Nitrogen Cycle work? Ammonia (NH3) >> Nitrite (NO2) >> Nitrate (NO3) • Nitrosomonas bacteria convert toxic Ammonia (NH3) to Nitrite (NO2) • Nitrobacter bacteria convert Nitrite (NO2) into Nitrate (NO3) • Nitrate (NO3) is diluted inside of the sy tem through frequent water changes...
  • Page 14 Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty, when it comes to creating a strong cycle in your Jellyfish Art aquarium there are many different ways to do this! No particular method is necessarily the best way; at the end they all essentially do the same thing.
  • Page 15 How to Cycle Your Jellyfish Aquarium? The following are valid ammonia source options, more details on each method will follow: - Blue legged hermit crabs + fish food - Live brine shrimp - Tiny piece of raw shrimp tail - Ammonium Chloride drops Bacteria source The second crucial aspect of an aquarium cycle is live beneficial bacteria which will “feed”...
  • Page 16 How to Cycle Your Jellyfish Aquarium? The Cycle process – Choose a method Let’s jump back to our ammonia source and discuss this a little further. The goal of any of these ammonia sources is to reach an ammonia level of 2 ppm.
  • Page 17 How to Cycle Your Jellyfish Aquarium? When you remove the tail from it’s shell you can put a tiny piece of the meat into the aquarium. The piece of shrimp meat should be small about 1/4” - 1/2”. Watch the ammonia daily until it reaches 2 ppm. In this method, avoid reaching ammonia levels higher than 2 ppm as this can stall the cycle process.

  • Page 21: Acclimating Jellyfish

    ACCLIMATION Acclimating Jellyfish Overview Instructional videos can be found online at Jellyfishart.com. What is Acclimation? After arriving at your doorstep, jellyfish must be gradually introduced to their new home since water conditions in shipping bag (such as salinity, temperature and pH) may be different from those inside of your aquarium. Rushing the acclimation process will shock your jellyfish and potentially cause harm.
  • Page 22 ACCLIMATION • Rinse your hands thoroughly with fresh water each time you come into contact with your aquarium. DO NOT use soap. Any chemical that may be on your hands can be easily transferred into your aquarium. Hand sanitizers, soaps, and lotions can be detrimental to your jellyfish even in very small amounts.
  • Page 23 ACCLIMATION 1. Jellyfish arrive in an insulated shipping container. Ensure that the caretaker is available to receive the jellyfish shipment. Tracking information for shipments are sent via email to the purchaser. Acclimate jellyfish as soon as possible within 8 hours. Take a picture of the jellyfish within the bag upon arrival.
  • Page 24 ACCLIMATION 5. Add 1/4 of a cup of system water into the acclimation bag. Be careful that air bubbles don’t get trapped within or underneath jellyfish when pouring. Air bubbles that get stuck under a jellyfish can result in a hole developing in their tissue. Pouring water down the side of the acclimation bag close to the water level will help reduce bubbles that could be introduced during the acclimation process.
  • Page 25 JELLYFISH JARGON Jellyfish are beautiful in their simplicity. Though they do not possess many of the major organs one would think are needed to survive, their simple body plan is comprised of the essential elements necessary to have thrived in the world’s oceans for millions of years. Note: Note: the nematocysts or stinging cells of moon jellyfish have varying degrees of potency.

  • Page 26: Water Quality

    This means that even small changes in pH make a large impact on your aquarium’s water chemistry. Your aquarium’s pH should be kept between 8.0-8.4. To raise or lower your aquarium’s pH safely, please contact Jellyfish Art for recommendations. Note: Your aquarium’s pH changes naturally a small amount throughout the day.

  • Page 27: Aquarium Maintenance

    • Consult with a Jellyfish Art Representative if your water chemistry is consistently off. We recommend keeping a schedule or a record to know when to service your aquarium. A water quality chart can be found at...
  • Page 28 JELLYFISH AQUARIUM MAINTENANCE What else should I know about water changes? • The cleaner you keep your aquarium, the better your water quality will be. This will promote growth and healthy jellyfish. Taking proper care of your aquarium will create less work for you in the long run by avoiding runaway water quality parameters that will require additional maintenance.
  • Page 29 JELLYFISH AQUARIUM MAINTENANCE Instructional videos available online in our “Support” section. Know when to service your aquarium! Keep a record of when you conduct a Water Change or gather water quality parameters to maintain regime. A clean, well maintained aquarium will promote jellyfish growth and activity. Daily Responsibilities: •...

  • Page 30: Feeding

    FEEDING Standard feeding amounts: • 1/4 of a scoop of JellyFood daily. Scoop is located within food bag. • -OR- enough strained live artemia (baby brine shrimp from the included hatcher) that can be consumed in 15-20 minutes. Use the white sieve to collect daily hatched brine to feed.
  • Page 31 Can I feed my jellyfish other food? • Yes, but it is not necessary. Jellyfish can be 100% sustained on Jellyfish Art’s JellyFood mixture, while Artemia offers a cleaner feeding option. • Most commercially available foods are lacking in nutritional content needed for optimal jellyfish health &...
  • Page 32 TARGET FEEDING Place the recommended amount of food (1/4 scoop per feeding of 3 jellyfish) into a small, “aquarium-use” only cup of saltwater from your aquarium. Use your feeding pipette to mix the food to break up any clumps. This helps ensure your food does not float on the surface of the water.
  • Page 33 Arrive Alive Claim. Contact Jellyfish Art for further recommendations. Auto-feeders are also available in local pet stores and online. Contact Jellyfish Art if you would like our recommendation on the best auto-feeders to use with jellyfish.

  • Page 34: Using Your Artemia Hatcher

    USING YOUR ARTEMIA HATCHER Included within the Jelly Cylinder 5 kit is an artemia hatching dish, which is used to hatch out the provided brine shrimp eggs. This is a very simple tool that requires very little effort to provide your jellyfish with live baby brine shrimp.

  • Page 35: Troubleshooting

    Remove any uneaten food from the bottom of the tank and in the filter pad. A stricter water change routine may be necessary. Consult with a Jellyfish Art Representative if you are having consistent problems. Saltwater test kits are available at: Jellyfishart.com/collections/all/products/water-quality-test-kit...
  • Page 36 “Less is More” with jellyfish. It is pretty amazing to see nature’s ability to correct itself without much intervention from us. Try not to fuss too much (or unnessicarily change water) with your jellyfish and consult a Jellyfish Art representative with any questions.
  • Page 37 A jellyfish retracted its tentacles: This is a normal response after feeding. Tentacles bring in food particles. A jellyfish turned inside out and resembles a blown-out umbrella: This is referred to as inversion. This is likely due to a big change in water temperature, salinity or poor water quality, which is often caused by a buildup of jellyfish waste or uneaten food.
