Looks good. Does your nitrates stay at 5ppm after a whole weeks of feeding? That be hard to believe if your not running any de nitrate media and plants. Or wait til u stock your rays tank with more monsters.

Well I do a water change every 2 to maybe 3 days being the most so it doesn't have to much time to build up also like I said I only have the one motoro in the 180 by herself right now so not much can build up and I have 2 fx5 filters running on it now and with my water coming out of the tap at 0 ppm for nitrates my water stays absolutely pristine but I don't wait a week for water changes I do atleast 2 a week and if I'm at home with extra time I do a few more water changes to keep the water extra clean which seems to keep my ray really happy which is all that matters to me

Ya I didn't read your thread thoroughly on only having the 1 ray in a 180g and that u do wc's every 2-3 days. That's good. I wish I had the time to do more water changes on my 450g. I do a massive 70-80% once a week due to my schedule. You also got me thinking on testing my tap waters nitrates and I'm lucky that it also comes out at 0ppm

wow you guys are lucky mine comes out at 10ppm and my nitrates are 15ppm with contant drip but not tested it after a feed
but nitrates are no big deal for rays they can live happy and breed at 80ppm
to tell the truth i never bother with water tests unless i see something wrong
