Feed live baby brine shrimp. It will solve most of your problems. When you feed dried food the uneaten food settles and does not get eaten so it dirties up the tank alot quicker. Baby shrimp stay alive until they are eaten.

I have the 25 gallon version. Haven't lost a jelly yet and has been much easier to maintain than I thought. But I feed exclusively live baby brine shrimp.

Colby, Hi!
Glad to hear your jellies are still pulsing about. They're getting pretty close to their full natural lifespan. Way to go. :-)

I will second Colby's suggestion of feeding live brine shrimp. Either fed within hours of hatching before they use up their nutritious egg/yolk sac (about 24 hours) or enriched at about 48 hours (of starting them in the hatchery) for 12 hours or so.

The advantages of live foods for jellyfish can't be overstated. You'll have healthier jellies and significantly less tank maintenance.
