Jelly nano in the office

[TundraGuy]

I am looking into setting up a upside down jellyfish nano for my office. But I need some advice on what to get for this. Should I get a nano and mod it for the jellies or should I get a tank and build a false wall and hide the filtration behind it? I have a biube and would think that would be nice but I ripped out the crummy under-gravel filter that it came with. Not sure what I should use for a filter on that tank. I got some par38s for my 40 breeder and love the look of them. I believe they would provide plenty of light for the jellies. Has anyone been down this rote before that could chime in with some tips for me?

A buddy of mine from phoenix breeds them like popcorn popping. He has them growing in the pupil phase in his satellite fuge using a cfl from HD and feeding them live brine (fresh hatched). He also kept one in a coke bottle shaped like a x-mass ornament from 2 years ago. I have room in the office for a tank but am not looking to get anything big. 10 to 20 gallon range. I love to DIY but would love input from the folks here that have kept these guys.

For upside-down jellyfish, the 40 breeder would work better, but a 20 would be able to sustain 1-2 for their whole life. Unless you have a tank at home or a large fuge, 1-2 will be all you can get. They stay on the sandbed and need virtually no space vertically. They can get up to 8" diameter, so a biocube could fit one, tops. They will thrive on a diet of zooplankton and light. CFLs will be fine, around 5 watts per gallon. Be sure to cover sump/filter intakes. A sump would be a big plus as jellies can get sucked into filters, burn on heaters, and scratch themselves on LR. A sump will be a place for LR rubble and full pieces.
