Help! Stingray advice.

I dont know all that much about blue spotted stingrays, but the tank in video seems too small for those rays. I have three California rays and they use the entire foot print of my aquarium which is much larger then that tanks foot print. That tank being so deep does not seem to be the best tank to keep rays and corals mixed together in.

Tristans;5053054; said:I know I re-thought it 1200 LBS. does seem like much...maybe only 700 LBS., wait, you do remember this is a 1500 gallon tank RIGHT....?O.k I wont go automated..... but I keep getting mixed results... some say it's good some say it's bad?I don't know anymore!!! And the triggers I've heard they damage sharks but... stingrays?!?!?And yes, I' m not so stupid I don't know stingrays are flattened sharks...And i guess I'll give up on the Triggers,but... The anemones are staying.... On another note I wan't some Cleaner shrimp and other shrimp like Harlquins. What stingray can go with them? I need some non-mixed info! O.K!!! and... I'm up for the challenge.... The freshwater fish tank will be full of Dicus zebra plecostumus and a Black Ghost Knife Fish... Very EXPENSIVE also....and hard to keep...

Don't get to hung up on the weight of the live rock. You don't really need a lot of it. If you are looking to take up space, get some milk crates to stack under it.
A ray will also eat your small shrimp.
Generally speaking, rays/sharks and reefs require two different set ups when looking at the private aquarium.
O.k so if I don't get rays, then what fish/Invertabrate could live peacefully with the fish/inverts I've already mentioned that would look and act very close to what stingrays do?... And live with the Cleaner shrimp small hermits and small clams and Brittle stars.
