Organisms, Craspedacusta sowerbii that are occasionally seen in our reservoirs that look like small marine jellyfish actually belong to a different taxonomic class, Hydrozoa, which includes the common hydra. These mostly translucent organisms are about the size of a quarter and feed on tiny zooplankton. Large, non-translucent gonads hang on their underside make them easier to spot on sunny days during the late summer.

Symptoms: Fish look like they have little white salt grains on them and may scratch against objects in the tank. White spot disease (Ichthyopthirius multifiliis) is caused by aprotozoan with a life cycle that includes a free-living stage. Ich grows on a fish --> it falls off and attaches to gravel or tank glass --> it reproduces to MANY parasites --> these swarmers then attach to other fish.

Moon jellies are certainly the most common, but several others occasionally make landing. Portuguese man-of-war can often be blown in with a strong storm from the South. Sea Nettle, Mushroom Jellies, and cabbage Head Jellies are also known to be off the coast and can be blown into shore. Lions Mane Jelly Fish are among the rarest to wash up. They can be as large as 8 feet across and have tentacles 100 feet long.

Aquariums should be moved without water in them. We also recommend removing gravel and decorations. Damages caused from moving an aquarium are not covered under the warranty.

Well in some ways it can be in any non-toxic container that can hold water, but some things just work better than others. I prefer glass tanks. But I'm old fashioned. Most of my tanks are the plain old rectangular glass fish tanks. There are a lot of fancy new tanks with bowed fronts and different shapes. Most tanks are pretty well suited to do the job. Extra tall tanks should usually be avoided but they can be used sometimes if the extra height is taken into consideration.

On the whole, no! We do occasionally get some stingers in the water, but they generally only stay around for a week or two. A wet suit is your best bet against getting stung.

The Channel is too cold and dirty for sharks. On the other hand, the channel is replete with jellyfish. The stings are not fatal but are very painful. Usually this happens as I am taking a stroke and what feels like three or four electrified barbed wires are being dragged across my skin- jellyfish tentacles. The skin usually burns for five minutes and then goes numb. Impressive scars then surface the next day. No channel swimmer is complete without his or her own collection!

Most jellyfish in Australia are harmless gelatinous creatures with umbrella like bodies and flowing tentacles. However, the box jellyfish, found in tropical Queensland, are extremely nasty. Called stingers they can inflict excruciating pain and even death from a single brush. In the wet season (November to April) they live off the coast and swimming is only advised in enclosed areas (most beaches have these).

Yes, it is possible to use a protein skimmer in freshwater. But it makes no sense. The freshwater usage of skimmers does not justify the purchase. The benefits of skimming are only profitable in saltwater - that is why it is commonly believed that skimmers only work in salt. Unless you have scientific information about why the skimmer will work in your fresh environment, it is not advisable to waste your money!

I can dispose of hazardous chemicals down the drain, right? The wastewater plant is responsible for clean up.
