New here interested in fresh water rays

Check out This topic in the Stingray forum for some advice and suggestion.

That is the best Thread I by far and I will remember it for anyone that is curious about wanting to keep a Stingray in the future.

Do you have to have a sump or is just a large filter fine?Cause some websites only say filters and some say sumps and filters so I was wondering which one was better.

A large Sump or a couple of Sumps would be my choice over any other filter. Sumps are effective, efficient, and simple to perform maintenance. Filters such as the Cannister Filter will be hard to maintain a lower Nitrate level vs a Sump because of the gunk that the Cannister Filter holds until you clean them out.

here are some pics of the parents of my first marble motoro. First one is the father and the rest are big mamma. The tank she is in, in the photo is 2’ high to give perspective of how big she is. These pics were taken over a year ago and she is even bigger now.

motoros are good for beginner keepers but they do get large.

How many heaters do you need in a ray tank? Can you put them in a the sump or not?

Most use 2 heaters just in case one faults and yes the heaters can be placed in the Sump. Another great thing about a Sump.
