7'x12' 1400 Gallon Plywood Stingray Pond

Thats a 6'x6'x20" acrylic tank, I think the guy I got it from had it custom built.

man, Id love to have that tank..
Good size and great for rays.. Would make a good pup tank

 

[JohnG]

Yeah its a great tank, I have 5 hystrix that are around 5-6", when the rest of the rays move into the new pond the hystrix are moving in there along with any motoro pups I still have.

If you ever decided to sale it, let me know. I can have a few friends who are truck drivers pick it up.

Well, be sure to let us know how the new pond works out and I cant wait to see how the rays like it..

This build has inspired me to start my own, unfortunately I don't have anywhere near as much space! Looking forward to seeing the next set of pictures, keep it up

Pond is still holding water fine, about 2/3 full now. Its high enough for me to start the filter and find out that the damaged threads on the top of my aquabead are causing it to leak.

Going to have to open the top up again and see if there is anything I can do, probably have to load it up with tons of silicone and hope that does the trick. If it doesn't will have to return it and wait a couple weeks to get a replacement.

Pond is almost completely full, got 3 or 4" left. So far no leaks.

I siliconed the leaking filter early today, going to try firing it up tomorrow night.

Looks great, I'm sure the Rays will love their new home.
