I have been in the brain storming phase of a freshwater stingray tank for a while now, but I can't decide on the best way to go about constructing the tank the way I wild like it done. Right now I'm leaning towards is a build similar to that of this tank http://youtu.be/OtVt0xRW-bI
Instead of having four glass walls there would just be one viewing panel at the deepest point of the indoor "pond." Do you think this system will be cost effective/ a good choice for the species. The tank would have two areas one being larger than the other and the two would be separated by a gate/ divider of some sort in case there is a problem with aggression among the Rays. The deepest part of the "pond" would be around 4 feet deep with the average depth being around 2 feet. What would be the best way to filter this system of it ends up being around 700 gallons? What is the best way to prevent evaporation when the tank isn't in view? What are suitable tank mates for the Rays? Is it possible to file down the barb of freshwater Rays to make them safe like saltwater Rays in petting pools in public aquariums and marine parks?
