Hi all 6x4x2 ray tank
I have 2 rays 14 inch 20 inch having probs with my filter since I added K1, I have posted about it before just want to know what u guys would use to filter this tank equipment ect any advice appricated .....
 
What's wrong with K1? I have a pair of 10"-13" rays and heavy stocked with others in my 450g and the filtration is running a wet/dry designed sump of 8L of Bio pellets and 120L (30 gallons) of Bioballs. Also running a FX5 with 3-4L of bio max. Filtration seems fine at the moment. Feeding heavy every day my nitrate levels get about 30ppm by end week before wc. I don't know if this is the best filtration for rays but it works.

personaully if i had the money to choice any kind of filter i wanted for a large ray tank like that. I would go with a bead filter simple, easy to clean and about as efficent as it gets. If i was on a modest budjet. And if it is up of the ground on a stand i would pick up a 120 4x2x2 and build a simple sump. not a wet dry but a sump, with a couple filter socks under the sump intakes. a large middle section full of bio max or equivalant ceramic media, couple sponges before the media department. And then the next small section with the return pump, with inlinve u.v and inline heaters. And consider if filtered to the max. If it was a pound style on the ground set up. Build a over head filtration the same for the most part. Or last but not least. hitch up a hole line of the ocean clear or Lifegard Aquatics inline bio and mechanical filters, Havent tried those yet allways stare at them but go a different route.
