all you need for a sump

-pvc or vinyl tubing of some sort
-rubbermaid tub (20 gallons or so)
-pump (shoot for 6x turnover if you want rays.. however you are going to need a bigger tank so do some more research on yer stock)
-scrubbies ($15 at your local dollar store)
-piece of slate (to put the heater on.. they sometimes like to melt through the tubs without the slate)
-egg crate aka light difuser (home depot/lowes)

As far as getting rays it will be for pups only I have much larger tanks for the adults over 300 gallon tanks. I just want to be able to watch the pups closer and observe them for study and growth rates.
