Page 6: Jellyfish Life Cycle
Jellyfish life cycle POLYP STROBILATING POLYP PLANULA LARVAE EPHYRA EGGS ADULT JELLYFISH or MEDUSA Jellyfish reproduce sexually. When jellyfish are ready to mate, the male releases sperm through the mouth opening located on the underside of its bell. The eggs are fertilized when the female swims through the male’s sperm. -
Page 7: General Husbandry
For most Aurelia sp. (Moon Jellyfish), a recommended temperature falls between 18-25°C. In typical scenarios, this aligns with the Kreisel's temperature staying a degree or two below the ambient room temperature, eliminating the need for additional heating. If temperatures exceed the desired range, consider using a chiller connected to the Kreisel's INLET/OULET connectors. -
Page 8: The Nitrogen Cycle
Once it is established that the water parameters are stable you can reduce testing accordingly. To understand what is required to keep a healthy Kreisel, you need to understand the nitrogen cycle, where beneficial nitrifying bacteria start building up in your Kreisel breaking down harmful ammonia (NH₃), into nitrite (NO₂) and then nitrate... -
Page 9: Cycling Your Kreisel
During the cycling process, it is recommended to test the water in your Kreisel almost every day for ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. This will help you understand if the cycle is underway and when it is safe to start adding jellyfish. -
Page 10: Feeding
If this happens, consider switching to the broadcast method. Prepare food in a cup using saltwater from your Kreisel. Use a long nozzle pipette to suck up and gently spray the food under the jellyfish’s oral arms. -

Page 17: Setting Up Your Kreisel
Setting up your Kreisel Choose a suitable location This Kreisel is designed to be used indoors and is not suitable for any outdoor applications. Ensure the Kreisel is securely installed on a level surface, capable of supporting the weight of the tank, before operating. - Page 18 PLEASE NOTE: The prepared salt water must be at the correct temperature for the Kreisel tank before adding to the tank. PLEASE NOTE: Due to various factors such as evaporation, the water level in the Kreisel tank will change. Ensure that the water level in the tank and filtration chamber is always closely monitored.

Page 19: Operation
Operation Once the Kreisel tank is full of water, plug in the power supply unit and switch on. Once switched on, water will be drawn into the filtration chamber via the water inlet (0) and will pass through the multi-stage filtration (3) and will return back into the tank via the water outlet spray bar (2). -
Page 20: Integrated Led Light
Integrated LED light The Kreisel integrated LED lighting is designed for jellyfish. It provides a gentle, diffused glow to showcase the jellyfish and enhance their visibility. The Kreisel is equipped with a high-quality multicolour LED light source capable of producing a wide range of colours. -
Page 21: Introducing Jellyfish
1. Place the sealed bag containing the jellyfish into your Krisel. 2. Float the bag in your Kreisel for 15 minutes allowing the temperature of the water in the bag to match the temperature of the water in your Kreisel. -
Page 22: Maintenance
CAUTION: Failure to do so could result in operating problems. • Regularly clean the inside of the Kreisel. DO NOT use coarse sponges or pads to clean the Kreisel as these can easily scratch the tank. • Regularly clean the outside of the Kreisel using the cleaning cloth supplied. -
