Sweet set-up! I hear Rays are pretty tough to take care of, is that true?


i have heard that rays have this organ that massivly boosts your amonia when stressed so chris maybe doin some heavy water changes here and there or he has multiple filterations going through his tank.
 
Hey Thanks you guys =] This tank is a 90 thats also in the room with my 60 gallon thats empty now. Thats their growout from the 30 gallon they were in. As for the stingray, their not that hard in taking care of...as long as you have good filtration and do your weekly water changes you good to go. They do look promising and are getting better and better in colors.
All im running in the tank is a emperor 400 and a 55 gallon barrel wet/dry. You can't see the wet/dry though...=/ its outside so just incase it stops flowing water won't run out everywhere in the room.
 
oh as for Water Changes I do 50-75% weekly to rid of ammonia and it also keeps my tank nice and clean without the smelly odor you get with bad water
 
Their looking great Chris.. I want some ORINOS!!
 
Hey thanks silverdragon =] Hehehe you should get some...they are awesome looking and by far from Monos and Ocells Ive kept I would say Orino would always take my vote between them. There colors are so vivid and beautiful you would always look at the tank everyday and every second of it. I can't wait till the true colors of these guys come out in a few more months tops
