Jellyfish Tank Project

I'm starting a new jellyfish aquarium project. I'm researching Jellyfish aquariums to see if I could design or possibly buy and inexpensive jellyfish aquarium (meaning under $150) I have a design with a Biorb Life which is a little steep in price. I'm mainly looking at the Biorb products because they have a low waterflow which is what jellyfish need.
Here is one that someone made:












I would rather build it in a Biube so it doesn't distort the jellyfish.
Here's a biube aquarium:













I went to the petstore and discovered that the only thing that these tanks don't have right is a high lamp. They use little bulbs so, I'd need to fix that.
And, the other problem is they are small so I'd need to find a small breed of jellyfish.

    I know (heard) that jellyfish need a lot of light to live well and the biorb lights are only about 5 watts, that isn't enough for jellyfish is it? And what light should people use if they want to get a biorb for a jellyfish tank?

    the biorb light is here -

    Using BiOrb aquarium to house a jellyfish is not really appropriate considering the size of the creature compared to the big tank.
