Looking to upgrade from a 240 gallon 8' x 2' x 2' as I am looking to focus on rays
Tanks here are pretty expensive, but a local farm supply store carries these Rubbermaid stock tanks.
It's a 6 x 5 diameter circle. What rays would you guys say would do well? Retics, hystrix, motoros? How many would I be able to keep. I plan on setting up a drip system.
Filtration would be a fx6, sun sun canister and a 55 gallon sump. The room it would be in is 10' x 8.5' the filtration will be a tight fit. Hopefully will have a build thread on it soon as there is some work to be done in the room, just looking for suggestion and tips.
Sump I would do a trickle tower sump with pot scrubbies and some lava rock as submerged media, sump will also have my heaters in, plus I'm thinking of running a inline heater on the sun sun. Substrate I'm thinking of pool filter sand, and a medium size piece of driftwood in the middle.
For turn over in the sump how many gph would you guys recommended?
Water would be at 20" or so, so the Rays don't swim out, and lid for winter would be green house roofing to keep the heat in
