I am wondering what peoples opinions are of rays in a 210g display. I am new to aggressive tanks but I am not new to saltwater aquariums. I have owned reef aquariums for the last 8 years or so with success. I have been thinking about building my 210g into "species" stingray tank. The dimensions are 6 x 2 x 2.5. There would be minimal rock work in the tank and perhaps a few other unique tank mates. I am in the "thinking" stages as I am just starting my research in to "other than reef" aquariums. can rays be successfully kept in a 210?
Looking for advice. beginning research for rays

I thinks a 210 is "ok" for a young ray thats no more than 5" across the disc. Once they start reaching maturity they need good amounts of room to swim. The Bluespots dont seem as active as others but I still think it's like taking a good size dog and putting them into a 4x6" kennel. Will they survive? Probably, but not very comfortably.
Actually - you could keep a Cortez Ray in a 210 without any problems. Since the Cortez ray has a maximum disc width of about 10" . But your tank decor would need to be limited.
