Stingray tank questions

[schmidt1216]

Hello I'm going to be purchasing a stingray in the near future and was wondering if a 6, 2, 18" tank is big enough for a small stingray ( Galaxy p14)
And also how thick glass do you need for a 180 gal tank

I think that tank would be a good size but I'm no expert also my 155 gallon tank has half inch thick glass if that helps a little for your tank build

You'd want to be looking at acrylic for that sized tank, not glass. It would be ridiculously heavy.

they are heavy but its not that bad. My 220g is 6ftx2ftx30" takes 4 people to move it.

I have a 100 gallon that my roommate and I moved by ourselves and it was beyond intense. It's a meta frame from the 60's, so it's heavier than tanks these days, but a tank of the dimensions that the OP is listing would be best made of acrylic

EDIT: I thought you originally said 8 feet, not 6. I personally wouldn't do rays in a tank less than 8 feet x 2 feet (3 would be better)
