[Cnidaria] RE: Rearing of Cassiopea

Sat Jul 17 10:53:16 PDT 2004

I would place them back into the tank where they are only 20cm away from the
bulbs.  Dont worry about lack of life-support.  Just change some of the
water every once in a while.  They are very hardy considering water quality.
Place as many bulbs as you can fit across the top.  These guys need LOTS of
light to do well.  In thier current tank, they would need a 400W metal
halide bulb to get sufficient light.  Fluorescents wont even come close to
providing the light they need in that tank.  (Remember to increase the temp
too).
