Jellyfish Tanks
Our jellyfish tanks have a
well deserved reputation for structural integrity, ease of use,
and value. Having started this company with jelly tanks in mind,
we have built more of them than virtually anyone on the planet.
You can find our work in such aquariums as Oregon Coast Aquarium,
Monterey Bay Aquarium, and New England Aquarium just to name
a few. Several years ago, we decided to also start keeping jellies
in house in order to better understand the functionality of these
tanks and have made many improvements to previous designs that
provide added safety and convenience without extra expense.
Kreisels
We offer several sizes and configurations to suit most any need.
From the 24" pseudokreisel which is a small, affordable tank
perfeclty suited for holding, culture, and small displays to the
large 10' long x 6' high stretch kreisels which can house virtually
any species. We offer 3 basic background colors, clear, black,
and the gorgeous infinite blue. Our standard depths range from
8 - 18" but can vary according to your needs. Each tank comes
fully drilled & tapped for for supply/return lines or drilled
for the included Hayward bulkhead fittings. Extra suction screen
frames and gaskets to keep downtime to a minimum are included
as well as all other necessary hardware (300 series stainless
steel screws, washers, etc...).
Cylinders
For our cylindrical tanks we use only cast tube from Reynold Polymers
in two diameters; 36"OD & 44.5"OD in 2, 3, &
4 jet configurations which can house a variety of jellies as well
as seahorses and sea dragons.
Modified Boxes or "Tumblers"
Can
be thought of as elongated pseudokreisels that do offer some advantages
over kreisels for certain species including Chrysaora sp. and Aurelia
sp. Tumblers allow for much larger volume so more animals can be
housed making them ideal for larger holding systems as well as some
very dramatic displays. They also allow for much of the sides to
be viewed as well as the front so they have excellent viewing area
per square foot of floor space.
