Couldn't have said it better myself. High end brackish or salt. Otherwise the ONLY way to keep it properly is to have a pretty good flow rate going through a drip system.
Do some research on these rays.... You'll understand what we are talking about.

why not just take the 300 gallon saltwater and get cortez rays and maybe a blue spot or 2??? much better looking imo

because i already have a bunch of freshwater fish that i need to upgrade there home shortly.and saltwater tanks are to hard for me.
salt water can be just as easy as freshwater 
..... if your adding other fish your going to need some serious filtration.... and a drip system flowing some serious water....
..... if your adding other fish your going to need some serious filtration.... and a drip system flowing some serious water....The point is, atlantic rays are saltwater fish. They just swim into freshwaters. As a result from it, they need to pee more. What comes out is pure ammonia. Best to have a saltwater/brackish tank for them unless your tank is REALLY well filtered, maybe filter your tank about 7-10 times within an hour.
i have a water turnover rate of 16 times an hour and i would put alot more filters on there.....but i guess what you all are saying is that there ideal home is in saltwater..
