Hello Everyone,
So I've got a dilemma here and was hoping for some help/advice. In the state where I reside (Nevada) Fresh Water Rays are Illegal, however Salt Water Rays aren't. I truly adore rays I think they are the most adorable creatures ever! So, I need some help and was hoping if any of you MFK's out there had some advice you'd throw it my way.
1) I couldn't find a complete tank setup for Salt/Freshwater Rays, talking about what is required and what is recommended.
2)Are the levels for water Nitrate:0ppm
Nitrite:0ppm
pH:7.5-8
3) Are all sumps $300+? I'm trying to work on a budget so I can buy a 180+ gallon tank after my ray is about 5-7 months old. What is an appropriate growout tank, I keep getting mixed answers.
4) I'm definately gonna wanna pet my Ray(s) all the time so I was thinking of a larger footprint to setup in the garage with about 2-3 feet of water, a 5 for turnover rate and 30% water change twice a week. The footprint would be about and 8'x4'. Would that workout, all over google I'm getting mixed answers and figured MFKs could help out.
Thanks Much,
C. Negatory
