saw a lot of jellies at pasir ris rite?

[Zero Oxygen]

hehehehe yup, but no idea on how they are like leh

[ozy]

Do a search in the forum here, the jellies need a special tank, can't remember the name, and I think it is very expensive.

The main problem with the setup is trying to get filtration without hurting the jellies. Conventional filtration will just suck up the jellies and turn them into a pulp. The special tank mentioned sort of creates a current which keeps the jellies in the centre of the tank and out of harm's way.

I was also trying to look for the mechanics of the tank online, thinking of DIY one myself, but there is not much literature on that.

i read this sumwhr b4, the current has to be nt to strong n nt to weak. but the wave action must look like a washing machine on slow mode. and they do need a big tank.

and also prevent them from getting near the glass.. and also u need to ensure totallly no microbubbles... filtration system must be good.. as for feeding?.. ahahhaa

hmmm pasir ris those i believe are known as cannon jellyfish

I personally didn't think that jellyfish was that attractive that someone would want to keep in their tank... Anyway, I could be wrong.

Jellyfish must be kept in special tanks.

The small jellyfish tank in Underwater Water is about S$40k.

[Achilles Tang]

Chinmo... nice DIY!

Do you have a micron netting at the centre so water can diffuse through but the sea ponies can't?

[chinmo]

hahah! AT big boss leh, sure got kah kia! hahahahaha jus joking!

yep, can c at the back a blur circle, tat's the mircon mesh, bbs can pass through but nt the fries, bubbles running along aside on the (_) wall, creating a circular motion. clean water is returned via a air pipe from overflow sump.

We are off topic now, but I am thinking of setting one up also for culturing of my peppermint or cleaner shrimp fries.

But maybe external... or do what you do in my refugium (which has nothing in it)... sigh... wondering what to do with it.

U can go coral reef aquarium at 83 tangore lane to take a look at their pure jelly fish tank.

Can ask them abt the setup. Almost tempted to setup one just like theirs as it's real cute watching the jellyfishes swimming and shimmering in the water..

Keeping jellyfish is not as simple as one thinks. You have to feed them BBS heavily EVERYDAY or they'll starve!
