Hi! I will explain you how works the Darwin Tank ..
.. answering the 3 most often asked questions.
1. How do you open the tank to put jellyfish in or to clean?
2. How do you feed the jellyfish?
3. How water is oxygenated?
All pieces you will see are parts of the prototype.
All of them are not definitive.
All these pieces will be hidden inside the wooden base.
You‘ll be able to reach it through a back door.
So first, how to reach the inside of the tank:
Once the filter is unplugged, easily remove pipes.
Thanks to the leakproof inlets self-locking you don’t loose a drop of water.
Put the little plastic cork.
If necessary empty more the tank to make it lighter
Then just grab the half emptied tank ..
.. and kindly turn it upside down.
Place it in the plastic support ..
.. to simply open the tank with the adjustable Inox clasp.
You can now acces the tank to clean or add the jellyfish.
Gently introduce the jellyfish into the tank.
Those ones are already acclimatized.
After that you can close the tank ...
.. checking the seal is uniformly compressed.
Close the Inox claps.
Adjust pressure with a screwdriver if necessary.
Here you are at the most delicate step… ;)
Turn the tank over slooowly to avoid jellyfish to catch bubbles.
Then put it back on the wooden base.
You can now plug the pipes ..
.. using the leakproof inlets self-locking system.
With the back door it will of course be easier!
You can now fill in the tank.
In order to do this plug the little pump.
It will pump oxygenated water ..
.. and inject it ..
.. into the tank.
The Darwin Tank is full.
Replace the plastic cork ..
.. to make the tank hermetically sealed.
It allows to inject water from the oxygenated reservoir.
The oxygenated water is pulsed into the pipe by this pump.
The excess of water flows through this thin pipe.
Like this the water level always stays at his maximum
That's how you get oxygenated and filtrated water without any bubble in the tank.
How to feed the jellyfish:
Take some water from the tap with a syringue.
Turn off the tap.
Put water in a glass to water down the food.
You have 3 possibilities :
dry food ..
.. frozen food ..
.. or alive food like babies artemia.
When the food is blended with water ..
.. suck it up with the syringue ..
.. and add it to the system through the tap.
The food arrives staight into the tank.
Et voilà !
Miaouw !!!
