A Jellyfish "Combo" Tank

At the Monterey Bay Aquarium they held jellyfish in large holding tanks. Sometimes they get creative and try different types of jellyfish together that are from the same place as shown here:

I just love the idea of having a tank with more than one jellyfish. So I decided to take on this challenge for myself.
This is the tank. It is a 20 gallon tank with my first 5 upside down jellies and my cleaner snail. I'm enjoying the tank so far. It is really big and the jellies love it. I'm also getting 10 more upside down jellies in the mail in the next day or so. At the same day I will pick up more cleaner snails. Then I will work on getting lagoon jellies and blubber jellyfish. I've never kept either of these types before. Lagoon jellies are positive to get along with upside down jellies, but the variable here is the blubber jellyfish. Blubber jellies and lagoon jellies will get along together so I am hoping upside downs will get along too. Like Thomas Knowles says, have fun and be creative! If this does not work out, I'll get rid of the blubbers and keep just the two types of jellies left. Although I am nearly positive they will all get along with each other.
