They get daily water changes, and we just ordered 2 more canister filters to add to it for over kill. :)

Will get pics asap.
 
Here's pics of the ray, and some of his tank mates. He's actually a very aggressive eater. More aggressive than my motoros. He's eating krill, with no bloodworm soaking at all. I'm just not sure how quick krill is going to put weight on him.

I had worms, but unfortunately my basement got way too hot, so I am starting the farm all over again. And a dozen is about $6 here,and they are kept in gel, and not dirt.. so I can't feed to my rays.

don't mind the crappy pics... there is white bb on the glass, and I need to clean it off.

You are going to have problems putting weight on your flower unless you overfeed with the tankmates you have. European nightcrawlers do better in warmer enviorments but I reccomend canadian nightcrawlers cut up to put the initial weight on. Keep them in the fridge. Do not use red worms which are usually the ones people raise as they are not taken as readilly as the other two. Good luck and very nice pics
 
I feed this tank 5 times a day. I go through 2 blocks of krill a day. They are all well fed, and he gets more than his share. There is always extra food after the inital feedings, and he's always cruising around eating.

I have european night crawlers, but my basement got too hot for them. So I have to move the bins upstairs.

This guy has started eating pretty much anything I put in here, except for silversides. He doesn't like them.

Everyone says that flowers are not aggressive eaters.. but I don't know if that applies to this guy. He's all over the other rays when it's feeding time. He will sit in the pile of food in the tank, and charge everyone away.

My motoros are very docile, and are not aggressive eaters since they get fed so often.
 
That's great that your flower is so aggressive. My tiger and flower appear aggressive but are very slow eaters compared to motoros, they pounce on the food but just don't get as much down. When you say 2 blocks of krill a day what are you meaning by blocks?
 
This...

But I also feed silversides, tilapia, clams, shrimp, octopus, cuttlefish.
