Setup okay?

[Rbacchiega]

Footprint: 8'x30"x2' complete with glass tops
Lighting: 2 48" flourescent bulbs (bought at Home Depot) suspended approx 8 inches above top of tank
Filtration: 2 Modified FX5s (from a post on MFK)
Substrate: None (I'm assuming this would be easiest for a beginner ray keeper?)
Temperature: 76-78*F
pH: 6.2


Tank is almost done cycling...I hope, it's been filled and runnig for about 2 weeks.

In terms of acclimating the rays, I'm planning on using a drip system, just like what I use for my SW...but would it be best to introduce rays in groups or one at a time?

how are you getting the rays and what kind.... i would probably just dump them in.... put them in in any order you wish... ive added 3 rays to a tank with 3 allready in it.... it doesnt really matter unless itss a fresh import thats really skinny then it should be seperate....

Rays will be purchased through a local wholesaler (well I get wholesale prices anyways) I think I'll start with motoros (chainlink) and progress from there

[Rbacchiega]

rays will be coming in within the next few weeks. So far I've bought three. A male black spot motoro (approx 5 inch disk) and a pair of leos.

set-up sounds good, bet the Leo's set you back a bit.
