Hey Jim! I love your shows and I can’t wait for the next one. Also, please do a show about the blue blubbers, and what ever came of the original polyp ephyra tank inhabitants? I was kind of hoping to see you get stung…. Just kidding, Thanks again and keep the vids coming.

hey B, i still have the Sea Nettle system and polyps. I have not been able to produce any yet, but when I do there will be a video of it… and I am sure one of me getting stung.

He Jim, love the videos i was just woundering the Bio balls you use in your dry triccle filters are they simular to the ceramic rings that are available and do they produce the same results. Cheers
(Report comment)
hey K, while they both do the same thing the Ceramic Rings may technically have more surface area, but less void space.

how many grams of brine shrimp eggs do you start with in one hatching vat?
(Report comment)

Hey great vid. And great article in TFH!! Have you ever thought of raising daphnia?? I am told they are more nutritious and also easy on digestive tracts of certain fish. Would they be better for jellies?? Congrats on the article and your recent success with the two species of jellies. Looks great. Keep moving forward!! Thanx

I personally think its a lot of work and a pain in the butt. I tried something similar but I thought it was just to much work and a mess.

Have you tought or tried feeding them frozen cyclop-eeze instead of Baby brine shrimp?
(Report comment)
hey T, the whole point of decapsulating is the use of LIVE food that stays in suspension, whereas frozen foods ( non livng ) quickly settle on the bottom, and thats not where the jellies feed.
(Report comment)
Maybe trying to make the non living food that would settle to the bottom rotate with current. This is someting I do with Wild caught seahorses when trying to ween them to non living foods. Then again the pressure from the current may hurt the jellies going towards the bottom.
(Report comment)
hey T, you are correct, the current is most important in a jellyfish tank.
