    i was reading reef hobbiest magazine for fun and saw jellyquarium thing. They were selling jellyfish aquarium for $2,200 for 24 gallon. I wondered if you really needed that aquarium to have jelly fish? cant you just use regular tank like biocube and have jellyfish in there?

    Yes you need that aquarium, its built so it has no corners and the flow is in a constant circle which tends to keep the Jelly's suspended toward the center of the tank, which helps them out since they are such good swimmers.

    check out lafishguy on youtube he is the one who owns the jellyquariums and he has heaps of videos explaining them and why jelly fish need a circular tank to live in

    i have to argue with this 1, although it would be a lot easier to just have the tank....you can buy an attackment for a bio/nano-cube that extends the nozzel out more and you add a secondary pump to it for the "back half" of the circle to go around, this does work ive seen them set up....although it would still be suggested to have the "proper" equipment...
