Jelly Fish tank

[jeffreyy]

anyone have a tank set up only for jellyfish?

Not many they need a special setup. It is called a Kreisel. Google it and you will be able to see them.

I took a trip down to the texas coastline awhile back. I found a small unidentified jelly and brought it back home in a styrofoam cooler. It lived for 2 weeks in my tank untill the intake got ahold of it.. I even got to watch it eat! Those things are cool but shouldnt be kept unless you have the right tank.

lol, not only do you need a kreisel most of the time, but most jellyfish are coldwater species, so you also have to have a really awesome chiller.
Kreisels can cost up to 30,000$+ I've seen some small ones for 2k-3k though.
If you are really, really good at acrylic work, you could probably try to make one yourself...

Monteray Bay Aquarium in California has a whole wall aquarium with huge jelly fish. The rest of the room is kind of dark and the aquarium is back lit in blue. It was totally amazing to see.
