Hey! I just moved to Maryland and I now have my very first stingray tank up, running, cycled, and now it is a home to my very first ray. Yay! Sadly, the tank is not big enough to house the Motoro or the Leopoldi breeding pairs I have been looking into getting. Here's the setup I've found; Should it be bigger? Specific filters/heaters/other recommendations? Tell me what you think!
350 Gal. Rectangle Marine Ready / 96x36x24 Price: $3,037.90 PreFilter/OverFlow Color: Black
Does anyone know of an online tank dealer that has a good ray tank for anything less than this? This includes shipping (I'm in MD near Baltimore and D.C.). This setup is really cool, but the price seems a bit steep. Also, how important is it to have a marine ready tank? I read a book about stingrays and it says overflow filters rock for rays, but I figured I'd get it from the experts (so to speak).
Note: I know I'm not the wealthiest person around, but what can I say: I love rays, and so does my lady. I would have gotten a 400 gallon garden basin and thrown in a Fluval FX5, a heater and a sump and called it good. Funny how it almost never winds up being that easy?
My better half really would rather have a tank, but we are new to the area and we drive a small car. I also don't know anyone stong enough to help me carry a 350 glass. So, unless someone else has an awesome idea, I need acrylic and I need delivery. Wierd, I know, but on the off-chance someone could help I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
P.S.- I will be posting pics as the large tank comes online.
