Due to its size, this Kreisel tank is NOT suitable for keeping all species of jellyfish. Please ensure you thoroughly research the species requirements, i.e. their size, the required temperature and water parameters, before introducing them into this tank. If in any doubt check with your local marine livestock retailer. Small volumes of water are more sensitive to changes in water parameters and therefore it is not advisable to introduce more than one jellyfish at a time. Ensure you allow each jellyfish to settle in fully, and water parameters are correct, before introducing another. This may take a number of weeks.
The saltwater in which your jellyfish will live is very important. It must be prepared correctly and the right water parameters and temperature for your chosen species of jellyfish must be reached and stable before introducing any jellyfish to this Kreisel.
When you first start your Kreisel, it will have limited existing nitrifying bacteria to process the waste from your jellyfish, therefore harmful ammonia (NH?), and nitrite (NO?) levels can increase rapidly. To prevent this sudden build up you will need to ‘cycle’ the Kreisel which involves growing enough nitrifying bacteria to process harmful ammonia (NH?), converting them to nitrites (NO?) and then to less toxic nitrates (NO3).
Cycling your Kresiel, can happen quickly, but it can also take days, sometimes weeks, so patience is key.
