96x42 for sure..larger surface area on the bottom and extra width would be needed with any ray..
9'x3'=27 sq ft
8'x3.5'=28 sq ft

Length vs Width - Motoro Stingray Tank?

option two....
more surface area, and wider...
even though some may say 6" more width is not a big difference, it really is.
If you can, lower the tanks heigth and save some moneny, and put it towards even more width.... 8x4x2 would be best...
my motoro tank is 40" wide, and it will not last them much longer...

Wider is always better for rays.I've always wanted a 10'x4',I think it would be a perfect show tank.
I appreciate all the info!
I am for sure going 30" tall - there is an existing 520 gallon saltwater tank in the basement and I want the tanks to be the same height.
I will go the 42" width, maybe I can find a way to squeeze in 48" without an issue but I do not think this is likely with where the tank is going.
Thanks!

I would go option #2 in a heart beat! Wider is always better with rays. And I also agree with 24 inches in height it would cut down costs significantly.
