    Moon jellies have officially arrived in South Florida. On the snorkel boat I run, we've gone through a few gallons of vinegar in the past couple weeks.

    Cool tank, but the last dam thing I want to see right now is another jelly.

    that is pretty freaking cool. would love one on my desk. I got stung really bad by the tiny Man-o-war's in texas thsi past spring. lead to a very massive but short lived asthma attack. felt like both lungs collapsed. really freaky...

    So ive been looking at all the equipment needed for this, pretty simple. Im guessing someone could build a better tank than these kits IMO.
    out of the equipment listed for one of these kits.

    • Optical Grade Acrylic Tank
    • Stainless Steel Canopy
    • Stainless Steel Skirt
    • Eheim 2073 Filter
    • Eheim 2073 Pump
    • Mechanical Filtration
    • Charcoal Filtration
    • Biological Media
    • Sponges
    • Complete Internal Plumbing
    • LED Lighting
    • Hydor 200-Watt Inline Heater
    • Clear Decorative Glass Pebbles
    • 36" Feeding Pipette
    • Nutrafin Cycle
    • Hydrometer
    • Thermometer
    • 6' of Flexible Hose
    price of this kit is 2900. Im pretty sure i could build a better tank for cheaper than that.

    Lastly i live in canada, these sites wont ship internationally
