in the salt water. It is therefore recommended that at least 20% of
the aquarium’s water is
exchanged for new on a monthly basis.
Ideally water changes should be split across two changes performed once every two
weeks at the same time that the filter sponge is cleaned. The addition of a small amount
of new salt water will have no adverse effect on any animals present as long as it is well
mixed and aerated prior to addition.
Add new water to the filter compartment.
IMPORTANT:
a.
Always remember to turn off the circulation pump when conducting water
changes to prevent the pump scavenging air.
b.
New water, including fresh top-up water, should always be added to the
filter compartment only.
c.
Never add new water to the main display area as this may add bubbles to
the display that can damage the Jellyfish if they become trapped under
the body.
d.
Avoid any water splashes to the electrical connectors and do not connect
to power if wet.
e.
The circulation pump may be turned on again only after it has been fully
submerged.
Section 8. Disposing of jellyfish in the event they die or become too large for the tank
It is extremely important that
under no circumstances
are jellyfish to be released into the
natural ecosystem by direct release or lavatory flushing. Even dead jellyfish can produce
planula (jellyfish larva) which can attach to rock and begin producing baby jellyfish, and
this can have disastrous consequences for the local environment.
Dead jellyfish should first be placed in a bucket of water and sterilised with a cap of
bleach before being disposed of in a bag, in the trash.
If jellyfish become too large for the tank many pet shops will offer a buy back policy
where they will exchange the jellyfish for cash or store credit.
