The tank is 72" long the drop down is about 2 feet. The tank will be arriving this upcoming week so I don't have pic of the sump yet
Help Setting up "Unique" Tank

Looks to me like it was a drop off salt water tank at one time maybe? I would be concerned with the water in the drop off section colectin detritus which a simple power head will help with that. Hystrix or mini marble come to mind for a 28 inch tank
Definitely a neat tank but like it was stated before, not a good tank for rays really. It would be one thing if it was a gradual slope to a deeper area, but to have a straight drop off you are going to run into problems imo. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
since we can tell you are going to get rays no matter what advice is given, like everyone says this really is not a good set up for rays. 1 ray would be pushing it but 2 rays i would not do.. that tank is a salt water tank, you are going to all sorts of problems with that drop off. anyways im not here to bash you, i wish you luck cause you are going to need it.
PS im sorry i know i said no bashing but i know plenty of people are thinking it so i just have to:
65 gal tank,,, after 3 years your rays died for no reason?? that sized tank alone is the reason,, no way one
canister filter could keep that water good enough for a ray,, im sorry but your ray died from stress/water conditions. i am truly suprised they lived that long
