Cubic Aquarium Orbit 20 Jellyfish Aquarium
Regular price R 6,599.78 Sale price R 3,499.78The Cubic Aquarium Orbit 20 Jellyfish Aquarium is an all-in-one, round, 20-liter (approximately 6-8 gallon) aquarium specifically designed for keeping small species of jellyfish on a desktop or similar small space. Its unique circular design and gentle water flow system prevent the delicate jellyfish from getting stuck in corners or harmed by strong suction.
Features & Benefits:
- Integrated Filtration: The filtration system is built into the outer ring of the aquarium, concealing all mechanical parts and providing mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration.
- Optimal Flow: The design creates a gentle, circular flow (kreisel effect) that allows jellyfish, which are not strong swimmers, to move with the current.
- Lighting: It includes a color-changing LED light with a remote control, allowing users to customize the visual effect.
- Accessories: The kit typically comes with essential items for setup and maintenance, such as a DC pump, filter sponge, bio media, a siphon, a feeding pipette, and a hydrometer to measure salinity.
- Aesthetics: Modern styling and the way the internal components are hidden, creating an uninterrupted view of the jellyfish.
- Suitability and Maintenance
- Jellyfish Species: It is best suited for small species like juvenile moon jellyfish, blue blubbers, or spotted lagoon jellyfish. It may not be suitable for fully grown moon jellyfish.
- Maintenance: Due to its nano size, regular water changes (around 20-30% weekly) are crucial for maintaining water quality. The tank needs to be fully cycled before introducing jellyfish, and RO (reverse osmosis) or distilled water mixed with pre-packaged marine salt is recommended.
- User Experience: Low-maintenance, entry-level option that makes keeping jellyfish at home feasible.
