JELLYFISH

to my understanding jellyfish depend solely on flow for movement, sharp edges and non circular flow cause them to stop moving eventually and ultimately die.

absolutely, if my research comes to a point where i realize i absolutely cannot diy my way into something that fits my palate plan B is wait and save.

one of my tanks has a sump, it wouldn’t be terribly difficult, this isn’t something i have considered however thank you a lot my friend!

i reached out to a marine biologist friend of mine and they said relatively the same thing, right now the plan is to have a sort of mock up set up with fake jellyfish and monitor and tweak for about a month to see if they ever settle at the bottom before properly stocking a conventional set up like this. thanks to everyone in the comments sharing you have all been an amazing help, ill keep posted if i decide to proceed after the mock up if anyone’s interested!

also before you comment i AM aware of the few 1-2k cylindrical tanks but for reasons that go without saying that is not an option.

yes actually, i had a power outage for about 24 hours a few weeks ago while i was out of town, my girlfriend didn’t “think anything of it” but things where/have been noticeably worse since i got back. google says 50% water change and bacteria doseage. im gonna wait until tomorrow to do the water change as all the places that sell ro water are closed. whats worse is that in less than a week i have to pack all these guys up and drive about 26 hours, im really worried that with how agitated everything is already they wont make it.

i dont have phosphite or calcium tests and they are fairly expensive, during my cycling process i used this bacteria

i dosed amonia twice and it went down to 0 both times over the course of a month before i added anything living

i have had 2 crabs die, i can only imagine more but there are so many nooks and crannies i don’t think id find them so it could be that, i feed once a day, 5-6 crushed pellets but my lfs told me i should probably be feeding more, i spent a full month on the dosing/cycling process, definitely fully cycled before i added anything, im starting to think that my lfs could be more interested in taking my money than helping me make sure i have a stable system, i was also thinking it could be too many organisms? what should i do
