New to rays.. But been researching.

[Reedmaster16]

Thanks you very much. I love to learn and I love to do things 100% all out as right as can be. I never just jump in without gathering all the facts and knowldge I can. To me, thats just setting yourself up for failure and to fail here would possibly cost the life of such beautiful creatures. Point well taken on the mechanical filtration. Any suggestions or tips? Im still all in the planning of this so I can change or do anything I want. and again.. Thanks for the welcome!!

Good philosophy for life and keeping rays haha. Alot of members here like to use several filter socks in the 100-200 micron range. More information on socks can be found in a thread by Dan F which I believe is titled "a filter sock thread" in the setup and filtration sub forum. Several layers of filter pads is another option, as well as pressure filters and a number of other options. Lots of choices you just need to decide what fits your setup best and what will be easiest for you to change or clean frequently.

Thank you for the kind post. It is how I live life. Work or play.

I will check out that info on the filter socks. Ive got a few ideas.


When designing a tank habitat for these rays that is first and most importantly good for their well being and second appealing to look at, what things are recommended to use or not use for decor? How about large live plants and wood? What about current and circulation in the tank? What are most of you using for lights on these tanks for best display of the rays?
