This is AWFUL! So these jelly fish live thier entire lives in a gallon container on a kitchen counter! Truly disgusting that you would think this a good idea!
1 year 2 months ago
Sick idea and cruel and how can your editor possibly rate 5 stars
1 year 1 month ago
For those saying this is cruel, how is this any more cruel than a fish tank, or a dog or cat for that matter…
1 year 26 days ago
Thanks for the message Derpa. You are right!? The tank here maintains a true laminar flow that which is similar to the natural environment for jellyfish. So it’s pretty cool.
I was so excited to receive my tank (finally)! Filled it up, and... fuck. Leaking in the back. This is bullshit. But really, half expected. Any idea the process to return this dud?
I just received my tank this past Friday. I haven't had a chance to test it for leaks yet, but at least they are still fullfilling orders and haven't dissapeared completely. Hopefully I don't have the same issues with the spraybar or leaks that people seem to be having, but if I do it will make a really fancy betta tank.
I did get a tank, and no leaks! But.... killed the jellies that I bought (from elsewhere) in three days - the flow was not strong enough, and they got beat up and eventually shredded by the filtration system ='( so tank is empty and in a closet. I did message customer support on their website and get a reply to the initial email, but then they dropped off the map.
I’m lucky enough to have received a non-leaky tank, but I have had the same problem of nasty tank as @Craig Stanley even though I was sending my readings to Moonlight Jellyfish Online. Given the lack of jelly success I read here, I think I will just put a handful of goldfish in the tank.
I'm backer #325. Pledged $190.00. Still havent received my tank. Made a comment a few months ago about my address, sent my address and still havent gotten anything.. I'll be real. It was an awesome idea. I thought it would be really cool to have this,.. the product sucks. Everyone is complaining about leaks and sprayers not working, the customer services seems to suck too. To be honest. Keep my money and my tank, I don't want the headache. #deuces
Backer no. 555 in Canada, no tank. and no updates?! They were good with the regular updates until now. The last reported update was quite an apology, hoping this is not the end. I would really like to know the project is moving forward and not dead in the water with $100k sank! Kickstarter needs to step in here, I fear these guys might face legal action.
No update for us guys? That would help a lot of us feel better.
Is this project dead?
Make sure not to use tap water, if you decide to empty and clean it. Use only distilled on everything that touched the inside the tank or going into it.
I live in canada and i still havent seen my tank yet
Is this still coming or did i got left behind?

I have reported them. I understand with new projects there are bumps along the way and sometimes may take way longer than expected, but they haven't updated us with a true timeline of when we will get our tanks. All they have done is apologize and say they are working on it. This has gotten pretty ridiculous and I just want my money back. I have not heard back from anyone either.
Has anyone else reported this to Kickstarter from the link at the bottom of the main page? If enough people do maybe Kickstarter will step in enough that we can at least get some closure. As I outlined below, they're not meeting the minimum requirements of Section 4 of the Terms of Use.
@Craig Stanley- I would scrub it, empty it and let it dry out completely, let the bio-balls dry out completely, and then fill it with new distilled water and the bio-balls. I think if it was cycling for 8 weeks without any animals in it, you probably lost all of your beneficial bacteria that should be in the bio-balls. Your local aquarium store should be able to sell you a bottle of bacteria to add to the tank once you re-start it. If you don't get jellies right away, I would still add a little food to the tank each day to help the bacteria grow. It has to have something to feed on. To those who have had problems with the pump and jellies getting stuck- I ordered a new pump, and the medium sized jellies have done great in the tank for over 5 weeks now with that new pump, but the smallest jelly still kept gravitating to the spray bar and sometimes getting stuck there. I have been experimenting, and it seems if I have the pump up high in the back of the tank, the jelly gets stuck to the spray bar, but if I push it a lot lower, it stops. I think the small jellies just can't fight the suction of the pump, and when it's higher in the back of the tank, it pulls them right towards the spray bar.
I could be wrong, but so far it seems to be working. This is really a design flaw with the tanks. It should not be happening. It's frustrating to be doing everything right but losing jellyfish because the tanks are poorly designed.

Anyone have suggestions on how to disinfect the tank to start over? After spending 8 weeks trying to cycle my tank, it has turned into a disgusting AlgaeTank. So, I'm going to have to dump it out, disinfect and try again. But I want to make sure I don't use anything that might be harmful to future jellies. Thanks!
I know this is how kickstarters go. I’m not super concerned so long as I receive regular updates on what is happening. Your last update was February 2nd. I’d say, especially when production isn’t happening that a minimum of a monthly update is a reasonable expectation. It’s been almost two months. So what’s happening?
Section 4 of Kickstarter's Terms of Use:
4. How Projects Work
Most of our Terms of Use explain your relationship with Kickstarter. This section is different — it explains the relationship between creators and backers of Kickstarter projects, and who’s responsible for what. This is what you’re agreeing to when you create or back a Kickstarter project. Kickstarter provides a funding platform for creative projects. When a creator posts a project on Kickstarter, they’re inviting other people to form a contract with them. Anyone who backs a project is accepting the creator’s offer, and forming that contract. Kickstarter is not a part of this contract — the contract is a direct legal agreement between creators and their backers. Here are the terms that govern that agreement: When a project is successfully funded, the creator must complete the project and fulfill each reward. Once a creator has done so, they’ve satisfied their obligation to their backers. Throughout the process, creators owe their backers a high standard of effort, honest communication, and a dedication to bringing the project to life. At the same time, backers must understand that when they back a project, they’re helping to create something new — not ordering something that already exists. There may be changes or delays, and there’s a chance something could happen that prevents the creator from being able to finish the project as promised. If a creator is unable to complete their project and fulfill rewards, they’ve failed to live up to the basic obligations of this agreement. To right this, they must make every reasonable effort to find another way of bringing the project to the best possible conclusion for backers. A creator in this position has only remedied the situation and met their obligations to backers if: they post an update that explains what work has been done, how funds were used, and what prevents them from finishing the project as planned;
they work diligently and in good faith to bring the project to the best possible conclusion in a timeframe that’s communicated to backers;
they’re able to demonstrate that they’ve used funds appropriately and made every reasonable effort to complete the project as promised;
they’ve been honest, and have made no material misrepresentations in their communication to backers; and
they offer to return any remaining funds to backers who have not received their reward (in proportion to the amounts pledged), or else explain how those funds will be used to complete the project in some alternate form.
The creator is solely responsible for fulfilling the promises made in their project. If they’re unable to satisfy the terms of this agreement, they may be subject to legal action by backers.

Anyone have a lawyer connection?...
I was backer 504. Have not gotten any responses of any kind. I asked if there is any reasonable time line they could give me or any chance of getting my money back- nothing! For kickstarter- you realy should be held responsible to who you advertised and spoke in the name of. I will never back another project again and highly advise against to anyone I will speak to do so!
Ok, despite the new pump, I had the smallest of my 4 jellies get stuck to the spray bar over night. He was fine when I got him off, but it's not a good sign...
Is there any possible way to get a refund?
@ Mark
I’m backer 797, from Canada. The last response I have gotten from them was before Christmas saying they were shipping my tank as soon as they got the international plug converters.
So disappointing to still be waiting with no responses to inquiries.

@Mark Geraghty - Still waiting here in Canada. I'm backer 1,127 though.
Posted a support ticket on Friday and got a reply Today (next business day) stating that all remaining tanks have now been assembled and leak tested. "Shipping is still slightly behind and we hope to ship out in 7-10 business days".
But have been told this before.

So I have been chasing for a refund and have had the odd message of apology but nothing more. Kickstarter seem to want to distance themselves from this also. I have the direct email contacts: blake@xplodemarketing.com brock@xplodemarketing.com but I am getting nothing from these either. Could other people indicate how many are still waiting and/or having issues with this product so we can start to get some traction on refunds etc.
Has anyone got any idea how I get my pledge back? I have had nothing and as one of the first backers I feel this is turning into a bit of a scam. As for Kickstarter, it has put me off ever pledging any support to anything in the future. Advice from anyone please....
It would be great if the creator could confirm for me I am never going to receive my tank so I can stop looking at this page
@Steven Scafuri - what did you end up doing?? I hope your jellies are ok!
Here is a short (and not great quality- shot on an iPad) video of our classroom jelly.
https://youtu.be/xzzUfjx8xzU It gives you an idea of the circulation in the tank, since I replaced the pump. I am also going to replace the tubing connecting the pump to the spray bar- the tubing they sent is SO stiff, it's really difficult to manipulate. Tubing is cheap so I am not sure why they sent such low quality stuff.
I just ordered 3 buddies for Happy, so the tank will be full this week!

I know some of you have found replacement filter media, but I have not had much luck locally- but today I found that the Fluval U2 foam pads work pretty darned well- you just need to trim them down a little bit so they aren't quite as long. They came in a box of 2 for just over $2.00 at a local store.

I have received no tank and no response to my messages over the past 2 months.
This is an absolute shambles. You need to own up to your mistakes and refund those who received nothing!

Have had this tank for over a month and was successful with it after changing pump. Today it sprung a leak in the back. Help!
Other than the jellyfish art tanks, can they be kept in another housing? Like a cylindrical aquarium? And overnight, how should I keep them today since tank is leaking? Thank you so much in advance.

@Tracy Kelley Thank you! I got the new pump and have it set to 2 ticks below full and as soon as i powered it up a bunch of debris blew out of the spray bar. So the old pump clearly was doing almost nothing! I have the water level filled about about half way up the bar so I will see how that goes. I did pick up the vacuum that Michael linked below to take care of the debris. I know with my last tank (cylinder nano) overfeeding and excess food skunking the tank was a problem for me. So the vacuum will hopefully help with that. I'm going to be ordering 1 medium and 2 smalls in a couple weeks(they come in a pack) and I'll report back my findings and how well they do in this tank.
Got a return label for a full refund after an apology and wanting to make this right. Ticket has been open for 20.5 days waiting for a response on if I will get a full refund right away. After the multiple tanks, 4 dead jelly fish and the extra money I spent on pumps, salt, cleaners since the sponge they sent doesn’t work and time I am scared to send the tank back and receive nothing.
@Nick Conlon- if you are replacing the pump, I would say do NOT keep the water level below the spray bar.
As I detailed below, I had to keep the water below or they got stuck to the spray bar and shredded. However, keeping the water level below the spray bar diminished the water flow inside of the tank, allowing them to get sucked into the filter intake slots and killed/shredded to pieces. :(. I lost three that way.
I now have one medium jelly in the tank and I it has been in there (with the replacement pump!) since the middle of February (I show it shipped to me on Feb. 12th) and is going fine. I don't have the new pump on the highest setting (2 settings below the highest), and it is MUCH better than the one that came with it. I do plan to order a couple more jellies soon.

Guys - you promised to send me a return label for a full refund. I have this in writing from you. I've now followed up on multiple occasions, but you have completely stopped responding. Is this the old "check is in the mail" lie? Per my notes, my box is unopened -- you could give it to another customer who is upset that theirs has not yet arrived. Or, you could at least use common courtesy and tell me that you've changed your mind and are no longer willing to refund me for my order.
@here an year past by...News on the 'missing' tanks. Thank you.
@Amber Foster, I highly recommend the battery powered EHEIM aquarium vacuum for cleaning the bottom of the tank.
https://www.amazon.com/Automatic-Gravel-Cleaner-Sludge-Extractor/dp/B003C5U2SU There might be other aquarium vacuums, this is the one I bought and it works great. I similarly had troubles keeping it clean with the provided sponge/brush and others that I bought. I also purchased a new pump based on the recommendations below and the flow out of the spray bar has improved tremendously. With the new pump suctioned to the bottom of the tank (it's a pain to get it there, but worth it) I've had no problems with the jellies getting stuck in the filter slits. It's been about a week now and this is easily the longest I've gone without any such issues so I'm feeling pretty good about it. I've had my jellies for about 2 months now and they've been through a lot but all 3 are alive and well now.

@Nick Colton, it is true even with the new pump. I have my water level so it is just barely touching the bottom of the spray bar. After a water change I filled the tank back up a little too much (less than 1/4" up the spray bar) and a jellyfish got stuck there in under 5 minutes. But I've also found if I don't have the water level touching the spray bar the flow will cause little bubbles to form. This is dangerous for your jellyfish as if the bubbles get caught in the bells of the jellies, the lower density of the air will try to force its way to the surface, ripping a hole through your jellyfish in the process. I'm having trouble keeping the bottom of my tank clean. I bought a couple aquarium cleaning tools (rake, blade edge, net, sponge), but the shape prevents me from really being able to accomplish much. Bought a siphon kit to suck water/excess food up from the bottom, which works great, but you have to be super careful to keep it away from the jellyfish.
@Nick Conlon, I don't yet have any jellyfish in the tank as my pump died during the initial cycling process and I have to restart- as I'm sure the bio-starter bacteria are all dead at this point.
So I can't speak to the issue of jellyfish getting stuck to the actual spray bar. I will say that the bar seems to only output water, so I don't know how the jelly could get stuck to it via suction of any kind. The hope is that the new pump creates enough current across the grates that any approaching jellyfish are pushed away. This is only a theory tho, but @Tracy Kelley's success keeping one medium jelly alive for two weeks would seem a good sign,
I'll update in the comments once I have some fish in the tank.

@Tracy Kelley and @Kelvin Mao. I have been lucky enough to get a tank that is not leaking and have been patiently waiting for more people to confirm on their jelly situation. With all the talk of Jellies getting filtered I have been holding off on buying any. I also own a jelly cylinder nano so I'm familiar with the basics. My question to you two, how long have you had Jellies in this tank and have you had any issues with them sucking into or on the grates? I'm buying the pump Kelvin linked in his most recent comment. I read the water level has to be below the top of the spray bar as jellies get stuck up there, is that still true with this new pump? Thanks for help!! :)
@Kelvin Mao. I received my tank in November, and ordered my first jellies the beginning of January, so I guess I am lucky in some respects!
My bio-balls have also all floated up to the top. I really do not think it matters or means anything- the water moving around likely propelled them upwards. I have never done salt water before, but I have had aquariums for 25 years, and I think as long as the bio-balls are in the water, it doesn't matter where in the back they are. I do kind of wish the JellyTank had a screen or something that helped keep them down because I get some vibration on the pump (which makes some noise) from them sometimes, but I can adjust them to stop that. I have no idea how long the included filters are supposed to last- but an educated guess (based on my other aquariums) says it depends on your jellyfish/food load, but I change the ones in my other aquariums about once per month (I do water changes on them every 2 weeks). Right now I only have one medium jelly in there, which I feed a small amount twice per day, and I do a one gallon water change on the JellyTank every single week. I also use a net to try and pull out any excess food on the bottom of the tank every day. I hope that helps!

The creators not Kickstarter. And as such “The creator is solely responsible for fulfilling the promises made in their project. If they’re unable to satisfy the terms of this agreement, they may be subject to legal action by backers.”
Jarrod porter. You “ have not read the terms of service. They actually do owe people refunds if they breach their contract with a funded project.
@Tracey Kelley- Thx for getting back to me! You're definitely way ahead of me. I was near the end of the cycling stage and trying to tweak the salinity when my pump died. Having read about the cycling process on some of the jellyfish care links listed in the comments, I think I have to start over and have ordered new starter media from jellyfishwarehouse.com. At least I finally got the salinity in the proper range... I plan to start with a low amount of jellyfish and add more once I feel confident in the tank.
Another question for you- I noticed when I swapped out the pump, most of the bio-balls floated to the surface where when I first filled the tank they all stayed at the bottom. Any idea if that's normal or if it matters?
Any idea how long the included filters last? I bought a pack of API Filstar XP pads to adapt in case a less porous filter ends up being advantageous.

As per Kickstarter terms, supporting a project does not guarantee you will receive an item. There are no refunds.
I too haven't received a tank and am frustrated with the lack of simple updates. But time to move on.

@Kelvin Mao- I have it 2 clicks below max as well. I had it one click below, and the jelly was only circling in half the tank- couldn't get anywhere near the filter intake slots.
I agree with you that the function of the spray bar is to give just enough force to the water that the jellies aren't able to connect with the intake slots- and I think the pump JellyTank shipped with the tank was just not doing the job. I have had my one medium jelly with the new pump for almost 2 weeks, and so far so good. I hope yours is better now too! I really don't mind having to spend $10 for a new pump, but they really need to take a look at the pump they are shipping- there are going to be a lot of upset people spending $100 on 3 jellyfish only to have them sucked up and killed! :(

I would like to know where I can request a refund please? I’m an international early bird pledge. I feel that I have been patient enough waiting for a tank. I fully understand there has been difficulties, however there is a major lack of communication. Worryingly those who have received their tanks seem to be having issues and some are even buying extra equipment to make the tank sutabale for the jellyfish, which in my opinion is not acceptable and defeats the purpose of the project. It’s so disheartening to see that you the creators, aren’t even replying to the numerous complaints. You may have lost the passion behind the project but please resolve the situation for other people.
I too have yet to receive my tank or any shipping details. I've sent two messages over the past month and I haven't received a single response.
I'm backer #111. I either want a response with tracking details or a full refund at this stage. Anything less is unacceptable.
Please RESPOND.

@Tracy Kelley- I just replaced the pump with an upgraded version of the one you recommended(https://www.amazon.com/Homasy-Upgraded-Submersible-Water-Burning/dp/B079HW5CM6/ref=dp_ob_title_pet) as the one you linked to was no longer available. There's definitely more circulation going on in the main section of the tank now. Can you tell me what speed you set your pump to? I have mine set to 2 clicks below max as I saw someone else in the comments recommend setting it to 2/3rd max and that seemed closest,
A tip to anyone else trying this- using the adapter that comes with the new pump gives you a male-to-male fitting situation with the hose leading to the spray bar because the pump included with the Jellytank has a female connection. I solved it with a short length of latex tubing, but there's probably a purpose-made adapter you can get to solve this issue.
As for the suction of jellyfish into the filter slits, it seems to me that the design of the spray bar might be to push water across/in front of the filter slits and create a kind of barrier which would push any encroaching jellyfish away from it- kind of like the fans over the automatic doors of some supermarkets are supposed to keep insects out. This is just a theory, but if true would mean that higher spray pressure would be better in terms of preventing jellyfish from entering the filter slits. I've emailed support to try and confirm whether this is indeed the design intention, but have gotten no response.

At this point I'm looking for either an update with a shipment date on my tank, or a refund. I'd greatly appreciate it if someone would contact me (esiergiej@gmail.com) as the ticket system on the site seems to be frustrating a lot of people. Thanks!
