All is well, some feed live food but its not really common in the stingray hobby. Live worms is the most common for pups(young stingrays)

No live food at all, I buy my frozen shrimp from the Asian market where its cheapest, frozen talapia filet from Walmart freezer, pellets from Kens fish foods.

I feed shrimp, talapia, massivore pellets, nls pellets, night crawlers- super expensive so not really anymore. On average I feed 1/2 pound of shrimp and some pellets to the tank everyday once a day. About 50.00 each month worth of food. They are as expensive as everyone says they are.

Update 8 rays 10 frontosa, 11 Geo red heads, and others

Well the reason its in the garage and not in the basement is that I am at sheetrock stage in the basement and just getting that done and then ill build a stand and set it all up, So it will take a little while but I hope to get it filled as fast as possible, as for actually getting stingrays in...

:dance: 600 gallons, The last tank was just not the floor space I wanted or needed for fresh water rays.

Ya I love the blue hue. Let me know about your lights and if they have a good color to them I am thinking of ordering some for my large setup I think I will try to just use 5 lights over 10feet of space. It's fresh water so does not have to he perfect and only fish in my tank. if I went white...

That fish has some great color. I would not mind having a few of those in a tank. I have just never seen the bright colors here in Utah they are always just more grey black.

Why are you thinking of trying a 20k spectrum vs the more normal 12k-15k ?? I want to see a blue one for night lighting and other fill like the antinic lighting

Ya I remember reading all the info for your tank now that I looked for it. 450 is going well. About to get all the sheet rock done then build the stand and get it all in place. of course all the plumbing and everything else. Lol it takes time but it will all get done. Takes more time for a...

I take it that's an L shape tank?? I want to see some pics please please. I just got a 450 gallon L shape tank

Yes I do. Was at Costco the other day and they had flag stone on a pallet for 250.00 I was thinking I have gotten about that much off the mountains and I am glad it cost me just a sweet drive into the mountains but it can take some time to find the perfect rock collection area. Also they had...

LFS rocks- Are the rocks in water or just sitting out in a box or some type of bag? Live rocks have to be in water, full temp, everything, just like a normal aquarium, also have to be places in a bag or bucket of water to try to keep the algae alive taking them home, not always best as who knows...

Fresh water. Peacock bass, later on stingrays. Other cichlids. Salt mix is just expensive for a large tank.

Just one 200 watt heater will be more than enough. Check amazon, you wont need more than one at all. That's a small tank, if you really want more get the 250 and you will be able to use it for anything up to 100 gallons. Aqueon Pro 200 Submersible Aquarium Heater lifetime warranty, shatter...

More pics, of course the best part LOL

6 feet fronts, 3 feet tall and 2 feet front to back J Sweet After searching craigslist and everywhere else for a good amount of time I finally found a large tank that fit what I was looking to spend. Left at 6am to drive the 350+ miles to pick up the tank, stop off to see some family and...

You have a deal going with a guy where I could get a deal on bulk. Lol

Looks great. I like the lights allot working really great and nice build. I just got a 450 gallon tank would love to get some of these for it but an thinking of other options. Tank is 3 feet deep so 20-30watt at 50.00+ each would he a bit to light it. Im cheap. Rather spend the money on...

Ya 75 gallons is not to heavy for most any floor. Especially if you place it near a wall. I live in kearns myself. We so have a good bit of places here to buy fish. If you are ever looking for something let me now and I can keep my eyes out for it. And if you want any sp44 red tails I have a...

Try aquabid friend let me know about them. Allot of people use it.

Good filtering. Getting your water parameters to where they need to be is what it's all about. ask me anytime if you need some help. Pm is best. It is really rewarding once things are up and going well. Congrats on getting the tank setup. What size tank is it?

Thanks for the comparison. Great to see the differences.

I am building my basement right now so i can build the stand and make it whatever I want which is great, I have done wood working also so I am well aware of the build needs. I got the truck and trailer to haul anything so I am find with doing that, I even think I have enough friends LOL, I...
