My first response to this was skepticism... then I found their web site and they seem to have a lot of business. They've even built custom jellyfish tanks for restaurants and aquariums.

But a desktop jellyfish tank kit for the average consumer? I'm shocked! They say the jellies live about a year. I wonder how toxic they are when they die.

Is it cruel to keep them like this? Is 1 year there normal life span?

That tank is not adequate for jellies. This is disappointment in a box.

Yeah, surely jellies aren't that easy to keep. If they were, I'm pretty sure people around here would have them. The site talks about he ease of maintenance and the creator says he has a degree in biology and environmental science from Duke. But seems more like he's just trying to sell the product.
