Very awesome set up! My dream tank is still this tank I saw on a forum a few years ago of an indoor pool converted to a ray tank..... I admit this tank has much better visibility though.
Everyone seems to think this guy makes good $ breeding stingrays.
Now lets think for a second.
- Cost of tanks
- Cost of filter room
- Cost of feeding the stingrays
- Cost of electric to run filters/heaters/lights/etc
The overhead of that operation can't be paid for by selling stingrays. At least doesn't seem that way in my mind =O

Best he can do is cancel out at the end of each month. I don't think he's in it for profit because he's not overcrowding the rays at all. He's like most of us.... enjoy his stingrays and pass it on to other hobbyist when the time is right. But holy **** that set-up is bank right there.
THe setups are what amaze me...of course the selection of fish do as well. THe Mono, Orino, Pinima, Tems all look beautiful and healthy. The rays are spectacular. Can't get enough of this. We need him to get us some updates, or feeding vids, or a live feed...lol.
LOL I defiently think these people breed these rays, they have like 30 rays in the first main tank and I bet those are all breeders. Then in the last tank are two breeders of pearl and tiger or flower (sorry not familiar with high end rays) their is a growing spawn of leos in the 3rd tank. And think 15 pairs plus 2-3 more and they make like 3ish pups. They sell for what $1-$2 grand? And they spawn about every 3-4 months. So if 6 spawn a month you get 18 pups a month at 1.5 grand a pup that's 27 grand a month.
And LOL I bet these numbers are all wrong I was really bored and decided to put some thought into it. But if they had 2-3 people in on this they'd make some decent money. And that would be a unbelievable job, watching your fish and breedding them for a living.

That is a very impressive set up all around. And I see why you say your dream set up it all looks so amazing. I love the mix Rays and Cicihla and more Ray's.
