    Lowering Electrical bill, but needing to keep my rays comfortable

    Thank you so much for this, ill drop the temp and see how everything goes, i figure it would be ok at lower temps. Ive order ray from over seas and the water temp they come over in is 60 and lower and the rays seems to be fine. Not planning to go lower then 74 but ill start with that.

My fish room is located in the basement so...

    Lowering Electrical bill, but needing to keep my rays comfortable

    The large 26 inch does have drop eye on one side, the smaller 18 inchs doesnt as of yet but i keep that one in a lower tank so its constantly looking up. over feeding causes most of the drop issues. Ive had mutliple arows and if you just keep them underfed no drop eye will occur.

    2 ft albino trying to commit suicide

    i think thats a small issue with the tank being 8x2x2. he was fine with having to swim down a little to turn around. with the new 8x4x2 coming up hell be much much better. the issue at hand now is why is he jumping and trying to get out of the tank. the albino is about 2 ft and the rays are...
