Caring for Your Jellyflow Lamp

Keep your Jellyflow lamp looking beautiful and working perfectly with these care tips.

Regular Maintenance

Water Level

  • Check water level monthly
  • Top up with distilled water only if needed
  • Never use tap water (minerals can cloud the tank)

Cleaning the Tank

  • Clean the outside with a soft, dry cloth
  • For inside cleaning, drain the tank and rinse with distilled water
  • Avoid soap or cleaning chemicals inside the tank

Jellyfish Care

  • Handle jellyfish gently when adjusting
  • If jellyfish become tangled, carefully separate them when lamp is off
  • Rinse jellyfish in distilled water if they become dirty

Best Practices

Placement

  • Keep on a stable, flat surface
  • Avoid direct sunlight (can cause algae growth)
  • Keep away from heat sources
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the base

Usage

  • It's safe to run your lamp for extended periods
  • Turn off occasionally to let the motor rest (a few hours per week)
  • Unplug during thunderstorms or when away for extended periods

What to Avoid

  • Don't use tap water - minerals will cloud the tank
  • Don't add anything to the water - no soap, chemicals, or additives
  • Don't move while running - turn off before relocating
  • Don't overfill - leave some space at the top

Water Looks Cloudy?

If your water becomes cloudy:

  1. Drain and rinse the tank
  2. Clean the jellyfish in distilled water
  3. Refill with fresh distilled water
  4. Avoid placing in direct sunlight
