Stingray shoots water out of tank and soaks floor...

Hmm, I have no experience with rays but I do have a potential solution I thought of. You mentioned having a 5 inch lip around the tank? Perhaps you could build a 2 inch or 3 inch tall wall about 3 inches in so you have 2 inches between the wall and the edge of the lip. Now you make an acrylic lid that fits inside of the wall. The acrylic lid stops most of the water from getting out and the wall stops any water that gets under the acrylic lid.
Is no one going to point out the obvious reason? That tank is way too small for the ray. Rays are able to normally spit water thats how they in hale food. Put that ray in a taller tank and problem solved. That ray is bigger than the tank in height.
this tank is over 400 gallons for 1 ray? Don’t think so.
And to add some evidence to your assertion being incorrect, here’s a photo of what she was able to do to the roof another 2 feet above the tank.
I am referring to the height. 400 gallons is good, but when the tank is 18 inches tall. And you disc size is 18 inches....
Think of it this way. Someone’s is trying to make a fountain with a single water pump. He puts at at the bottom of the pond, but there’s only motion on the surface, no water spray. He later puts the pump right under the surface, a spray of water comes out.
I don’t know why your ray is doing it, since your footprint is good and I don’t think it’s going for food. To stop the water going on your ceiling, cover up the holes on the cover so water can’t get in your ceiling. This is what I did to stop evaporation from my nano tanks that don’t have a good lid.

Since no one has answered correctly I will chime in..
Your Stingray is hungry, that is why it’s spitting. I have some that will do this, half belly of food they’ll still spit until they are completely stuffed. Some Rays just like to be “fat”
Either increase the amount your feeding/frequency. If it won’t eat more then what you’re feeding then you likely have a different issue all together. Cheers!
