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. This level can be tested with the master water quality test kit. Avoid
ammonia levels higher than 2 ppm as this can be too much and stall the
whole process. Note: Cleaning products that are ammonia based should
under no circumstances be used in or near an aquarium. Additionally, using
a live fish (damsel fish etc.) should never be used to cycle a small aquarium.

Blue Legged hermit crabs

Add 3-4 small blue legged hermit crabs to the aquarium; these may be
purchased at a local marine aquarium store (pick small ones no bigger than
1”). Buy a small pack of frozen brine shrimp – Feed the hermit crabs a tiny
sliver of brine shrimp once per day. Only feed enough food that the crabs
can fully consume in 24 hours.
The crabs will eat the frozen food and produce ammonia via their waste.
These hermit crabs are the only other thing you can keep with jellyfish. They
will actually serve as a great companion cleanup crew that will eat small
amounts of jellyfish food that may have been missed.

Live brine shrimp

To use this as an ammonia source you will hatch 3-4 scoops of brine shrimp
eggs in the hatcher. Once they hatch (24-48 hours) start adding all the brine
shrimp that hatches. The hatcher should produce for about 3-5 days; just
make sure not to move the hatcher so that egg shells don’t make it into the
tank. Check your ammonia levels and repeat the hatcher process until the
ammonia reaches 2ppm.

Tiny piece of raw shrimp tail

For this method you will need a for human consumption raw shrimp.
