Can you provide more info about the pipe, IE how did you make, where did you find the clear piping........What a great idea.

WHat size tank?

REally nice set up - thanks for sharing.

Hi,

the tank is 250x100x80 cm. I bought the pipe at an online-shop here in germany. It is 120 cm long, 50 mm diameter and the material has a thickness of 3 mm. I heated it up to nearly 160°C to bend the end of the pipe. So the rays can handle it better.
On the other end of the pipe I bored some holes, where the water can come in, when the rays suck for food.

A friend, keeping rays with cichlas, is using such a pipe since several years and gave me the advice. And it really works!

Hi,

I don't know, if it's the correct translation... It's plexiglass or acrylic glass.
