I'm in the process of getting a temporary pond setup for my ray once she out grows the 90gallon which will probably be soon. I currently have two molded above ground ponds but different dimensions. Just wanting to get y'alls opinion on which footprint/pond would be better for a ray until I get my larger tank/pond built.

First I have a 300gallon Rubbermaid tank dimensions are roughly 69" x 63.25" x 25"
Second is a LagunaPond water basin which is roughly 6'x4'x2'
 
The rubbermaid tank you listed is only a couple inches shorter and a good amount wider, but I know it's a circle design.. I'd say so with the rubbermaid
 
That was my first thought too, since this one is more round it should in turn give her more floor space. This is a jaguar ray as well to give you an idea on size, I have not measured her since I got her but her disc is probably around 6" give or take.
 
I figured one of these would be a good temporary home for a single ray, nothing long term at all. Just until I can get this other tank/pond built. She is 6 months old today so we will see how long it takes her to get larger!
