Had this since last Sunday, got it off Lee on here. It's settled really well , doesn't normally climb the sides like on here but caught it doing it so thought i'd take a vid(on phone so quality is poor)

Thinking of looking into getting some sort of mud for the bottom for it to bury into, just not sure what you can get thats safe for them.
 
Very nice,any problems with the polys?
Also whats the dimensions of the tank,and cute dog too.

Dimensions are 72"x30"x30" with a 60g sump. No problems with the Poly's at all which is good, i have seen the ray totally cover a few of the poly's but they don't seem to mind , sometimes its the other way round where there is a bunch of poly's sat ontop of the ray.
 
Where in England are you?

I do not think "Mud" would be the right thing to use, apart from Marine Miracle Mud I do not know of anything used in fishkeeping.

I think some form of Sand would be the way to go...there are lots of threads on her about it.

I'm in South Cumbria, yeh i havent seen anything used in fishkeeping yet, don't fancy sand as i have that on my others may try some sort of gravel.

Yup at last! :D Still paranoid something will go wrong! Going to get a UPS just incase i have a power cut and also saving up for one of the aquatronica things you have so i get alerted if something change's.

I'll get some scobina when i have some spare cash
 
Let me know where you get the ups from and details if you can please as ive had a quick look but couldnt really find anything.

Well i know you can get UPS's meant for PC's /servers/ racks etc which normally just have plug sockets on the back you plug into, not sure if they'll work but when i get some spare cash ill get one (only £60-100 for mid range) . You can get them at any decent Computer store.
