Hello! and welcome to MFK!!

first you want large tank.(at least at 72x18inch footprint) for young rays. As far as filters. A wet-dry is good for large bio-load. And a power filter for the clean up.. As for the rays. a small trio of motoros work out good. But you will have to get a bigger tank in just a year or so... Do as much reading as you can first. good luck.. any other Q's.. post em up!

no matter how much you read on the internet, find yourself some good books on stingrays, an quality LFS that has stingrays or better yet find someone with stingrays in your area.

after that my 2 cents is find a place to get blackworms and a lot of black worms, and start culturing your own earthworms. (the first two phases of getting finiky rays to eat) always good to be prepared.
