Hystrix that will last for life. With a MALE motoro may also last for life. will not last a female motoro for life though.
I'm assuming its acrylic? Not that that matters on keeping a ray in it or not, but just out of curiosity, because if it is 48" tall that would be pretty thick and heavy glass. Probably a 1000lb tank or something of that nature.
I saw on tenecor's site that it was about 1000lbs empty, with 1.5" thick acrylic.
Can the rays with stand high water flow? Since the tank is so deep, and for safty I want to try and prevent having to vacuuming, by pointing 6400 GPH across the bottom. with 4 power heads.
Since the tank is deep enough to hide it, I was thinking about raised floor with egg crates and tile. Then run air lines under the tile, and also connected to circulation pump, so I can have an "Invisible bubble display" and very small amounts upward flow through the flooring.
This would be in hopes of making sure nothing ever touched the bottom and stayed.
I am also starting a custom cave structure, the idea would be that the bottom half looks like the cave while the top looks like the opening to a under water cave.
So the whole bottom will be open with only tile and a few bubble and water vents and power heads.

Yes rays are river fish and love current, but there should also be quiet water areas for the rays to rest.
