They will die. Don't try them.

Was thinking on taking the stock out of on of my many tanks and making one most likely the 75gal decaded to them just two or three 400 watts halites would provide the light they need i would think.

you should call the Waikiki Aquarium in Honolulu, Hawaii and ask for Mariko or Norton. They are both working in live exhibits with the jellyfish, and they have the answers to your questions.
just let them know Robert Lower referred you

 

[bigbearcrain]

The number listed on the Waikiki Aquarium website is (808) 923-9741.

Generally spherical tanks are used to keep jellies, I think, otherwise the get caught in corners.

Upside down jelliefish are not like others, but they need light and no live rock or other objects to catch on, or tear the bell, the normal position is upside down with the zooanthellia algae facing the light, they rarely move, and they are not easily maintained, but not impossible. The main problem is they need the same set up as a reef, but with no live rock or corals or fish. The cost vs the look isn't really worth it in my opinion, but for you it very well may be and I'm not the one who is going to spend time at your tank so go with what you like, you probably would not like some of my tanks, I have a plan to make a cave tank with copper sweepers like I have seen in the ocean, very boring but something I have wanted to do since I have seen an outflow pipe with hundreds of them in the entrance.
