Wanting the Ray hobby to be mine help

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Is your sand crushed? if it is not round then its sharp. I spent $300 on my first batch of sand and it had black crushed granite in it... had to give it away.

post a macro pic of your sand. I use 3m estes medium broadcast sand. I found it at a local paint supply store for $33 for 50 lbs comes in tons of colors too!
 
like the others said, even if your tank is 24 inches wide, you would want a wider tank.
my retic is already 18 inches long and his disc is only like 6-7 inches. nowhere near full grown yet.

if it's not smooth substrate, it will have to go. would you rather change your sand, or pay for a ray or multiples and lose them?
 
ok I will be getting into some rays soon but will be 100% ready before I get my feet wet!!! BTW MFKers you guys are awesome I would be no where near as interested or knowledged as I am now without you guys.
