I decided to ditch the planted tank upkeep battle (I don't mind a lot of maintenance work but the daily BGA cleanup is getting old), so I convinced my wife to let me build a ray tank in the living room!
New tank will be acrylic, DIY based on another member's excellent design & build. Dimensions will be around 34"x80"x30" about 350 gallons - size to be finalized once I talk to the supplier and figure out the sheet cuts.
Two questions -
Will 2 fx5 canisters be enough filtration for 2 motoros in a tank this size? I'm not going to have a lot of room, and need the most efficient option. Stand will only be about 12 inches high so it will be 'couch level', no room for a sump underneath.
What would make good tankmates? My first preference would be a school of maybe 10 angelfish or more. Has anyone done this combo? What other options are there for tankmates?
