hi..
i m new in fw stingray. i keeping 3 ray in 6ft x 2 ft x 2ft tank for around 2 months... i have so problems with the disc burn or should i say cut around the disc...

Water condition:
Ph level: 6.4
Ammonia: 0
Nitrate: 0

is there any fungus problem and how should i cure it?
its seem like getting worst now...

thank you.....
 
You will need a bigger tank. If they are small, you could get away with a larger sump for awhile. This will add water volume.
Disk burn is from ammonia. Is this a 2 month old system also? Nitrate at zero sounds like the tank is not cycled or filteration is new/not able to handle the added bio load of 3 rays which still means tank is cycling.
If the rays are 8" or larger in disk size, I would recommend 50% water change 3 times per week at least. If you feed alot, this adds to the problem but if they are eating, that is a good thing. Keep a close eye on water parameters. An auto drip system would help keep water parameters more stable.
Pics would help. Good luck.
