JELLYFISH AQUARIUM MAINTENANCE
Changing out the saltwater in your aquarium on a weekly to bi-weekly basis
will improve the quality of your aquarium’s water and in turn, promote
the health of your jellyfish. Refer to our online video tutorials available on
Jellyfishart.com for a more visual instruction.
How are water changes done?
• When performing maintenance on your jellyfish aquarium, we
recommend removing the jellyfish and placing them in a clean,
“aquarium-use” only cup or bowl. This is to avoid injury while cleaning
and performing a water change.
• Remove some system water to avoid displacing water and spilling when
you reach into your aquarium. Be sure to clean any algae off the walls
on a regular basis. Utilize your cleaning brush for this task. The easiest
way to remove water and waste from the bottom of your aquarium is to
use a siphon hose to remove the particles while draining the saltwater
to be replaced during a water change. Removing waste can also be
done manually with the feeding pipette. If you do not have a siphon,
cupping water out manually also works well.
How often do you do water changes and how much water do you
replace?
• Recommended amount of water to be changed weekly: 25%. Try not
to change more than 50% water volume at one time as to maintain the
equilibrium in the tank. Frequency and percentages can vary depending
on quantity of food added to the aquarium, and stocking levels.
Some of the factors influencing your aquarium’s water chemistry
include:
• The number of jellyfish living in your aquarium (the bio-load)
• How much, how often, and what you are feeding your jellyfish
• Your degree of effort put into your aquarium and keeping it clean
• More frequent water changes may be beneficial. However, conducting
water changes too frequently can also cause problems. Use the above
amount as a good baseline for water changes.
• 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
the end of this manual.
