BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Congratulations on purchasing your new Jelly Cylinder 5! Below are a few
helpful tips to keep in mind when taking care of jellyfish.
• The saltwater in which jellyfish live is very important. Saltwater
must be made correctly and changed regularly to benefit jellyfish
health.
• The initial type of water used when mixing your aquarium water with
the provided JellySalt needs to be
reverse osmosis (RO)
or
distilled
.
Stay away from any named water bottle brands as these normally have
added vitamins and minerals which may be harmful to jellyfish. If you
are not sure about if your water will work or not, please contact us!
•
• DO NOT USE TAP WATER!
DO NOT USE TAP WATER!
• When initially testing the salinity of your aquarium water with the
provided hydrometer, make sure to “tap” the hydrometer on a hard
surface to remove any air bubbles that may have attached to the
swing arm. Bubbles on this arm will cause the salinity reading to be
inaccurate.
• We recommend having a 5-gallon bucket with a lid so that you can
easily store pre-mixed saltwater for water changes. The lid ensures
that the water within will not evaporate. This will give you a consistent
salinity when preforming water changes.
• Rinse your hands with fresh water
(NO SOAP)
each time you interact
with your aquarium to remove anything that may be on your hands
such as hand sanitizer or lotion. Any chemical that may be on your
hands, even in very small amounts, can easily be transferred into your
aquarium and remain inside, which can be detrimental to your jellyfish.
• Keep your aquarium out of direct sunlight.
• It is important to keep the aquarium free of leftover food at all times.
Uneaten food that has settled to the bottom of the tank can be easily
removed or re-suspended using the feeding pipette.
•
• The aquarium must fully cycle by following our step-by-step

and cannot be skipped!
• Know the water quality parameters of your aquarium (salinity, pH,
ammonia, nitrite, nitrate etc.) and keep the parameters within the
recommended ranges stated at the end of the manual. Jellyfish Art
recommends purchasing a saltwater aquarium test kit, such as the API
Reef Master Test Kit available on our website. Most local fish stores
are also willing to test your water quality if you bring them a sample.
• Your aquarium can be scratched by abrasive materials, including paper
towels! Use a clean soft or microfiber cloth to wipe your aquarium.
