Orbit 20 Desktop Jellyfish Aquarium (Tank Only)

The current line of products from Jellyfish Art (on their website or here) are better. They've been winning awards with the product. My wife has the nano in her office and loves it. They are less money, yet superior.

This is actually an awesome little aquarium, but I've had a tough time keeping my jellies alive and healthy in it. I've been keeping reef tanks for decades, and had a Jellyfish Art nano with three moon jelly's for four months without a problem. However, even after a lengthy cycling process, this tank still has a hard time keeping my jelly's healthy. Probably the most important thing to do is add a small airstone into the filtration area. Only after adding this did I have any luck at keeping jelly's alive. Not enough air exchange with the stock system, so I can't emphasize this enough. After adding the airstone, my jellies, which had started falling apart and were almost dead, slowly healed and became healthy again. However, I accidentally bumped off the hose to the circulation bar while doing a water change one night and woke up the next morning with everything dead. Super cool tank in concept, but their is a bit of work that needs to be done before this is actually a great system.

Smells like plastic at first, but the smell goes away after a few weeks of filteration. The remote for color change gets comfused now and then.

Sleek. Beautiful window to view jellyfish. I recommend this to anyone thinking of a simple saltwater tank.

This is inhumane and stupid! What kind of people think that this is a good idea? If you want to raise jellyfish then do it right!

It is easy for the water levels to drop and causes the matrix bacteria to die off. Better than most jellyfish tanks but don't like how easily the levels can go off if you arent checking the water often.

I bought this after suffering through a round with the original Jellyfish Art tank and wanting to succeed at raising jellies. After 3 months, I've been able to establish the water stably and keep a jellyfish healthy, after some harrowing ammonia issues.What I can say is that if you are willing to put in a little time regularly, you can keep this tank looking very nice without a crazy amount of effort. Here are some important tips.1. Probably the most important thing in a small jelly tank is to use a ladle to isolate the jelly for feeding. There will be a range of opinions about this, but you only need to feed like this once every 2 days, it's fun, I've never damaged the jelly, and it reduces water changes to a gallon every 7-10 days, because you are not releasing lots of uneaten food into the tank.2. There's not a ton of substrate so equilibration is slow. Best to supplement with your own, or keep more traditional small fish in the tank for a good month before the ammonia starts converting.3. Get a blackout cloth cover to drape when you are not there. It vastly reduces algae growth.4. The acrylic scratches on the easy side and should be contacted only with an acrylic algae sponge.5. If you get a 5 gallon pail with live rock and cycle1 gallon of water with the tank every 10 days, you probably can add new water into the overall setup no more than once every 2+ months.6. Snail or dwarf hermit crab will process small amounts of uneaten food.

Unlike some other "Jelly Aquariums" for sale, this one is designed to allow you to keep real, live jellyfish not plastic ones on a fishing line. I have seen the 2014 and the 2015 versions of this tank side by side. The 2014 had some issues that could be resolved by the owner if you are a bit clever, or by the manufacturer / dealer if you need help. These issues were corrected in the 2015 version. The light has been upgraded, the wiring system has been improved, the plumbing issue corrected and there are even ports now for a chiller! So check which one you will be getting before you order. Both versions have a very good filtration process that is simple to set up, easy to maintain and are outstanding at keeping Jellies healthy long term. For the price and size, this is by far, the best hobbyist Jelly Tank on the market.
