Tank is 505 gallons total system is a bit over 600

Nice tank, how do you control the nitrate? I am surprised that the rays don't snack on many of those species.

Thanks, right now weekly water changes (about 250 gallons) but soon I am adding an auto drip. Evryone asks the same question on the rays eating stuff... I set it up wholehardly expecting them to pick stuff off but its been nearly a year and not one casualty. The rays are well fed and i also think the height of the tank (36inches tall) helps as once the lights are off most of the schooling fish sleep near the top.

WOW, that is a crazy mix! Love the action!
It is funny to see angel fish and ATF in the same tank, much less with rays!

HAHA, I know! i love the movement too... its funny because a lot of the stuff went in to cycle and I expected it to eventually be eaten but to this date nothing has gone missing and very little agression overall.
 
Thanks for the reply, I guess it must be the depth and the abundance of food that stops the eating the other fish. I follow the rule that sting rays kill for sport / fun though so am shocked they have not had a go. Maybe packing them in works as opposed to just the odd other fish. I wouldn't trust mine with anything after the last two companions got chomped.
 
Such a cool tank, man. So much diversity in that tank....and bio-load lol. It's good to see you having success with it. It's definitely a stunning looking tank with all the different species and colors and fish at different levels. There's a lot going on and the fish are the centerpiece, as they should be, not a bunch of driftwood. Well done.
