Well they got too big so I started this project this last winter. I built a small pond and insulated the crap out of it to see IF I could keep a pond here in Iowa in my basement at least 85 degrees in the middle of winter. Well it worked. Uncovered I was able to hold a lil under 500 gallons at 85 degrees with only 550 watts. So once spring rolled around I tore it down and put up the rough draft of my final product. A work in progress but here's a few pics.http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i145/rflwagon/PICT0102.jpg
 
second pic didnt work.

the pond is sweet!

how many rays u have?
 
There's 4 in there. 3 Marbles (2 males and a female) and a female Mantilla (or at least that's what I think it is, was sold to me as a Henlei/Motoro hybrid) The female Marble's a Beaut. The small pair are about 10 inches across. The bigger pair's about 13-14. Also have a small female Marble (the best looking of the bunch) in growout, but she's only about 6.

There's also a big knife in there, along with 2 gar and a silver dat.
 
more pix of these rays please....
 
Great looking pond DB. The rays look great too. Where did you get them? Locally?
