Casey,

I was just at the NEAq last week with a friend of mine that is a diver there and he was giving me the entire tour of behind-the-scenes and we came across their jelly tanks. He even stated (if I remember correctly) that he had built these tanks in the past. They are contructed out of acrylic and they can't have any surface that would snag a jelly. I have attached a quick drawing of what I remember. I hope that this helps.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Take care.

Jamison

James @ Envision Acrylics has built many Jellyfish tanks. Take a look at his site to get an idea of the tanks.

Yup...they need a circular tank. Also jellies have a very short lifespan in captivity...If you keep them a month your doing good. Most of the jellie tanks in aquarium's and stuff have to relpenish them monthly to keep populations up for public viewing.

Jellies require a kreisel tank to keep them from touching the glass, otherwise they get stuck to the glass. That is about all I know.
