i'm looking to getting rays within a year, only so long because i'd want the tank well cycled. i'm planning a 180, i know not big enough for most full grown rays but it will last a couple years, plan on stocking it with Black arowannas, if i can find them again, some knifefish, i like the idea of some large black ghost, just want to know what species, where would you advise i get them from and what filter setup you would use on a tank this size from people with ray experience. i've had a decent size tank before a 240, 180, 2-120's, and a ton of random tanks used as breeders. i just always been into rays just never would make the commit to buy because i wasnt stable but now i am and would like to commit. any advice is appriciate but great advice wanted lol.

I've read the stickies, i want to know from people who have the fish about if the set-up. like what filter, brand/model, and such, i've been using the website for a long time just never subcribed until recently and been keeping fish, mostly large cats and south american cichlids for 17 years now, i also dabbled in salwater preds for awhile and african lake set ups, now that i'm not in california anymore i want to make my dream of keeping a ray reality now that i can do it legally and not deal with hastily cared for illegal rays in cali. but thanks for the reply.
fx5's are good canisters. I find. (filled with ehiem emfustrate (however u spell it) , seachem matrix) and the fluval sponges/foams.
i use a sump + fx5.
remember if u rely on one canister. if they get cloged... there goes ur filteration..
so good to have more than one type of filteration going on!

Good. It is a good idea to get any specific questions that you have out of the way before you get the ray; have it's diet, temp, filtration, etc, down pat before you even get it in.
