wow.every single post was against it..then jellyman posts again and EVERYONE agrees with it..one,i cant justify paying so much for any tank that small,two i cant justify putting anything in a tank that small and three i think it looks dumb and unnatural. yea its probably not animal cruelty but i just really dont think that its worth that much.

I think I was the start of the new wave lol.
 
I saw this thread bouncing up and down the last cpl days and finally read it today. How quickly people get mad and then change their opinions. I love how comments are thrown out by everyone like they are fact. Either you like the idea or you dont. Its not for me.
 
What is the average lifespan of the Jellyfish kept in these tanks?

Re "The Desktop Tank is just a BiOrb with a very high markup":
A regular BiOrb is not suitable for jellyfish because bubbles will get trapped underneath the jellyfish, which can cause embolisms. We modify the BiOrb in order to make it habitable by jellyfish. Also, the BiOrb you buy from Petco for $127 does not include a heater, thermometer, salt, cycle, dechlorinator, glass pebbles, dropper or a hydrometer. This brings our price to $249. If you search for prices for all of these items separately, I think you'll find that our price tag on the Desktop Tank is reasonable.

Sorry, you are correct that you include the heater, salt, thermometer, dechlorinator, cycle (bacteria I guess?), marbles, a dropper, and a hydrometer.

Nothing however on your website indicates that it is a modified bubble tube. In fact in the setup video it actually just says to not fill it higher than the bubble tube, then it shows a full tank that is higher than the tube. Do you have a picture perhaps of the modified one? I am looking right at my bioorb now and comparing it to your videos and pictures, and see no difference save for the marbles.

Also, how do you keep them from getting trapped against the heater?
