Cleaning Rules

1. Unplug the Lamp

Before you clean your jellyfish lamp, unplug the lamp because safety comes first. So clean the jellyfish tank by unplugging the light to avoid the risk of electric shock.

2. Remove the Jellyfish

Be careful when cleaning jellyfish. Carefully remove your jellyfish if they are separable. Otherwise, the jellyfish may be harmed. In addition to cleaning everything, it is essential to clean the jellyfish gently.

3. Empty the Tank

Pour the water from the jellyfish tank over the basin to thoroughly clean it. This will make it convenient to clean the tank’s internal surfaces well.

4. Clean the Tank

Avoid cleaners that require scrubbing to clean the tank because the use of these cleaners can cause stains on the tank’s skin. So clean the tank with warm water and mild detergent and wash it well. Wipe the inside of the tank thoroughly with a soft sponge or clean cotton cloth.

5. Clean the Jellyfish

If your jellyfish can be separated, gently pick them out. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they can damage the jellyfish’s material or discolour it. Instead, use a sponge or cotton clot

6. Clean the Tank Interior

Use a long-handled soft brush or an aquarium cleaning brush to clean the inside of your jellyfish tank. Clean below and around thoroughly to remove long-standing algae buildup.

7. Inspect the Lighting Mechanism

Check the lighting system to ensure that the lamps are burning brightly. Use a soft brush to remove dust that blocks the light so that it shines brightly.

8. Refill the Tank

Avoid using tap water in the jellyfish tank. Tap water can contain minerals that can hinder the clarity of tanker water. So, clean your tank and use distilled or purified water.

9. Reassemble the Lamp

Keep the jellyfish carefully inside the tank. Follow the instructions for correct placement, and make sure all the components are in place.

10. Plug in the Lamp

After installing the jellyfish, plug it in. Then, see if the jellyfish are moving as before or if they glow as brightly as before. If everything is fine, then your cleaning process is delicate.

11. Regular Maintenance

Create a routine for cleaning your jellyfish tank. Depending on the usage, you should clean the lamps every few weeks.

12. Follow the Manufacturer's Guidelines

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions, especially during cleaning and maintenance. Lamps may have other features or materials that require special care.

Watering rules inside the jellyfish lamp

After cleaning an artificial jellyfish lamp or watering a new tank, follow a few rules for filling the tank. The lamp’s beauty can only be enjoyed if the rules are followed. Below are some rules for filling jellyfish lamps in water.

  1. Use distilled water instead of tap water inside the tank because tap water contains minerals that stick to the lamp’s surface and spoil the light’s beauty. So, use distilled water to enjoy the beauty of the light.
  2. After watering, mix liquid detergent with water. This will not pollute the water, and the jellyfish’s movement will be smooth.
  3. Fill the tank thoroughly with water so that bubbles do not form inside. Ensure the water does not come out and cover the watering place well.
