Guest FLIP Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) I set up a 75g tank and I guess I'll be documenting its progress here. :P So far I have a sand substrate with a peice of drift wood and a couple rocks. Its running with a aquaclear 70 and I just added a cascade 1000 thanks again henry for the discount and dustin for setting it up for me. :thumbs: Here's what it looked like a week ago or so... It had a tiger oscar, a wild caught oscar and a convict cichlid in it. Here is what it looks like now The cascade 1000 The convicts little cave thing he made himself Wild caught oscar Outtake of filter i dunno if it matters top of tank the aquaclear 70 Sorry about the quality of the pictures I used my crappy Iphone.

Guest Master of Puppets Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) Well I've sold and rehomed all the fish in my tank to make room for the stingrays. I've added 7 silver dollars a black ghost knife fish and 2 motoro stingrays. Full tank view Silver dollars Knife fish and of course the stingrays :thumbs: Hopefully I'll be able to get a better pic of the rays when theyre not under the sand.

Guest Master of Puppets Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Haha yeah I remember my little 33g from less than a year ago going from guppies and platys to stingrays and knifefish is pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpuffer Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Good job. BUT hopefully you will have a bigger tank sooner than later. I had my motoro for about 7 months and I had to get rid of him...not enough room in the 150gallon. Js Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Congrats on the new rays. Definitely a great looking setup! You might get lucky with the rays lasting over 6 months in that tank, but you will definitely need much more filtration for them if you plan on keeping them much longer than that in there. Rays produce a TON more waste than other fish that 'appear' to be about the same size, so you need way more filtration at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscusKeeper403 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Sometimes the rays are shipped with a stinger shield. It looks like that blue thing might be them. If they are, they should definitely be removed. Good luck with the rays though!! :thumbs: They become monsters so hopefully you have a 250 or 300g ready for then.

I'll definitly look into another cascade or rena canister then. I've already started saving for the 200g+ tank i'll be needing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
