I already have a couple rays in my 220 but i need to know if i can use a 55 gallon tank as a growout tank for say three 4-5" Motoro's until they can go into the big tank ???? Or if the 55 won't work what size would you recommend?? Mind you this is ONLY a temp home not permanent by any means...
 
add a filter and plug it into your main tank... also depends on how long you plan on "growing them out"
 
Well i am going to do that also, i have some pups do anyday now and i am going to attempt keeping them in a 55 gallon, till i sell them and get them eating good. I was concerned about doing this, but i will have about 650gph filteration on my tank.

My plan is to keep a close eye on water parameters and possibly do daily water changes if needed. It is definitly not a good idea long term at all.!
 
My problem is my 2 other rays are 10-12" males and i don't want my 3 4" motoro females to get killed off by the 2 males as soon as i drop them in the tank.. That's why i'm looking for this growout tank.. I was thinking of hooking it to the big tank but just not sure how to do that yet.
 
Anyone have any good ways of linking tanks together?? Filtration wise ??? Just a temp way..
 
what are u using for filtration on the big one? any chance u have two fx5 ;)
then just put one input on one tank out put on the other and vise vera
