Ideal tank for a pair of stingrays!

[Antonio Santiago]

Hello every body i'm new in the forum and its my first time keeping stingrays and need some advise.
I will built a tank with 180x150x60cm (6x5x2 feet) 1620 litres. I dont now yet wich rays are best for this tank i realy like leopoldis but maybe this tank will be small for them in the future so i was thinking in a pair of P14's, i want some discus too like 12 or 14 do you think there's no problem? And what do you think are the best specie of ray for this tank and were could i get it i' from Portugal.
By the way for the filtration system i was thinking in a 300 litres sump with polyfilter in the 1st stage after that, some biobals in drywet bucket system, after passes for a moving bed 50 liter k1 and in the end for some ceramics.
I want to put to a driping system puting like 300 liters per day if possible what do you think guys?
Thank and sory for the long text.

Sounds like a good plan to me. That size foot print is good for 2 rays of most species and probably ok for 5 rays. Although ideally it should be longer than 6 feet.

Most species would be fine in a 2 foot wide? I didn't buy a female due to they get massive for my 2 foot wide tank

Who said anything about 2 foot wide? That is not wide enough. Unless I have read the ops post wrongly, I understood his tank to be 6 feet long by 5 feet wide by 2 feet tall.

LxWxH is the standard order for dimensions.

If you can go 8x4 over 6x5.....better foot print Imo and would make it easier for u to get to the middle of the tank

Yes i would prefer to 8x4 but 6 feet long it's my limite tank's to you all for the responses. So you think 2 leopoldis would be ok? And do you now were could i get it?
