You mean triple Sulpa? There's that brand and Maracyn but I couldn't find the binox on ebay. I'm going to try and order some today hopefully to treat by tomorrow or Saturday, if she makes it that long. I know rays dont really have a skeletal system but the top rib like structure is completely showing on her :(
 
If you can grab a pic of her tail from the top more we could tell you how much fat she has on her. It looks like there is still some weight there. I would get the meds in like db said and continue with just salt in the system for now. I would dose with 1 pound per 100 gallons and when you do a waterchange replace the salt with how much water you put back in. Make sure to dissolve the salt in a bucket first and add slowly to the tank after it is filled back up.
 
I'll try and snap another picture tonight of the tail section. The first water change (40%) I added two pounds of salt to 150 gallons, the second water change (50%) I added another two pounds of salt. I'll do another 50% water change today and add another pound or two of salt in today. I've just been filling fish nets with the salt and letting them disolve into the water. Is this a terrible method? It seems to disolve into a cloud after being submerged into the water.
 
petmountain.com for the Binox. Try to find some triple sulfa too... Don't skimp of the shipping, you need the meds asap.

JMO.... But I'de be using 4 lbs salt/100 gallons at this point. And temp up to 86. Everyone is kinda questioning the salt temp thing.... Don't know why, probobly all have seen it work.

Just grab a 5 gallon bucket, throw salt in, fill 3/4 with HOT water, powerhead for a while till fully dissloved, add de-chlor/prime to bucket. Do waterchange, when refilling tank use a piece of airline tubing to siphone water from bucket, attatch this hose to the hose you're filling the tank with, may need to use a few airlines in order to get bucket empty by the time the tank is full.
 
Well, it's ordered and on the way. Hopefully my fish will make it till it arrives. Should I just leave night crawlers in their over night to see if she'll eat them?
 
Did another 50% water change and added two more pounds of salt. Also, snapped a picture of the tail for you all to see.
