Part 3: Acclimating Your New Jellyfish Opening sequence.
–
“It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for! Your tank is cycled and you’ve placed your very first order for jellyfish! Now wait one business day for delivery…”
–
“In the meantime, why don’t you double check to be sure your system water is suitable for new friends?”
–
“Your pH checks out.”
–
“Oh no, looks like your salinity is a little too high. You’ll need to bring it down by adding reverse osmosis or distilled water.”
–
“You can add freshwater to two places in your tank: the main viewing area or the sump.”
–
“NEVER add freshwater into your filter box.”
–
“This can kill all of the tiny bacteria you’ve worked so hard to grow!”
–
“Excellent, it looks like your tank is ready for jellies.”
–
“Well what are you waiting for? Let’s get them into their new home!”
–
“Don’t forget to take a look in the bag first to make sure they arrived safely.”
–
“Cut the bag below the metal bracket, then pull the tab to release the rubber band—No, no, no! Didn’t you read the sticker on the box?”
–
“You have to acclimate them first.”
–
“Take out a little water and slowly place the bag in your tank to float for 15 minutes to acclimate them to the water temperature.”
–
“Gently transfer your jellies with a ladle into a small cup full of water from the bag.”
–
“Carefully perform small water changes in the cup every 20 minutes for one hour to acclimate them to your tank’s water chemistry.”
–
“Now your jellies are ready to be released into your tank. Just look at those little guys go.”
