ToW 6-9-14: Topic of the week - AIO Jellyfish tanks...awesome or gimmicky?

[Volitans67]

With the new release of the Orbit 20 joining the ranks of the the all in one nano jelly tanks, I was wondering what you all thought of them? Good way to bring the hobby to the masses or further nemofication needing more education to the customer?

I like "nemofication" not so much the act as the word. God work.

Jellies aren't for everybody, they require very strict husbandry. Although, the tank featured in that article is rather nifty.

"nemofication" = :lol:

Great idea for a jelly setup, but it should come with a label that states just how complicated this type of system can be. It's not just plug and play and drop some jelly's in. It's shows like "Tanked" and certain items on the shelves at the local stores that give the hobby a bad rap as they don't fully explain all that is needed to make an aquarium actually work and be successful. Hence the fall out rate of hobbyists in this hobby.

Cool design and idea though...

I agree with this.
