ray ponds or tanks

[csx4236]

I use a 350 gallon rubber maid like pond. I use a large eheime can filter for my pump. What I do is, The eheime pulls the water out. Then feeds it into a in-line 32watt UV. Then into the can filter. Then can filter pumps to a wet/dry that sits on the pond. Then gravity feed back into pond. Works great for me.

Brad post some pictures would love to see this setup.

Brad post some pictures would love to see this setup.

Will do . I can snap some pics tomorrow. camera is at work. On this same setup I also have a drip system on it. A dripper just drips into the sump. Then I have a bulkhead drilled into the side of the pond. Then just overflows into the bulkhead. Then to the floor drain. blah blah blah.. Ill get pics tomorrow. Much easier to understand

Brad i appreciate the pics

this should be helpful i see you are running a auto water exchanger seems to be popular must be the way to go. getting closer to completion in my fish room. how is humidity? or do you keep a top on it?

 

[stingrayguy]

the humidity is not a problem. As i dont have alot of water moving on top.

And yes do yourself a favor and use a autochanger systems. I was changing 25% a day. And now my rays are better than ever. They love it.. And SO DO I lol
