ok the situation is my tank is 260 g houses a breeding pair of stingrays and are a hi waste out put fish. would using a swiming pool sand filter and pump be ideal ? looking into a few options here. first is the possiblity of going 100 % sand filter depending on how much they can handle. Anouther pissibility is maybe having it run with in and out to my sump so the watter passes mech filtration aswell. the idea here is that the sand filter would be 100 percent pure biological no maintance needed kinda idea. what do you guys think looking for some ideas for sure.

I would add a big ass sump and possibly a sand filter as well. Do good quality water changes and thats it. As long as u dont overload the tank with other fish and just the Rays, u should be fine. I found rays can tolerate nitrates up to 40 or so ppm with no issues. Good food and a peaceful habitat and u will have success!! Good luck

yea i have had them a few years now just would really to test my watter and have it 0 ammonia for once lol.
It will work. However, you are going to want to swap out the pump to one designed for aquarium use. Pool pumps produce more noise, heat, and use more electricity than the pumps constructed for aquariums.
