How tall is your ray tank?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
If for rays only, then the 24" would be good, but it would be boring. I have 30", so I can have arrowana for the upper level and silver dollars, severums, uara for mid level.....
 
My 350 is 42" tall. it is not that bad to clean (especially with magnets). The coolest thing is that my rays will climb all the way to the top when they want to let me know that they are hungry. Go with 30", you won't regret it.
 
Mine is 24" on a really low stand (26") and I can still barely reach the bottom and I'm 6'1"...

The height fits into the space I have for the tank, but if you can do it why not go for the 30". I think it depends on how much you need to reach the bottom. gravel vacs can be done easily at that height and a stick can help rearrange things or flatten the sand.
 
.Mine is 36" and I really don't like it. If I need to get something out of the tank I have to lay on top and can barely reach the bottom. + my Aro's do not like me up there, really freaks them out. I think 30" would be about right.
 
My new thank will be 40" tall, a hassle i imagine, but when you go big, you cant go cheap on the front.. The front is the thing giving the imperssion about how big it is.. The rays will sturb the bottom, so no need to go down there.
