Thanks... I'm almost finished stocking it. May add 2 or 3 more fish. I'll probably do a foxface and maybe a moorish idol or 2. Or I may try 1 more tang... Any suggestions. :thinking:

cool! What kind of ray is it? How long have you had it and whats the disc size of it? Cool shark! How big is he?

The ray is supposedly a yellow stingray... he didn't turn dark until I put him in my tank. The disc size is about 4 1/2 - 5 inches and I've had him for about 8 months. Dougai, I love puffers but I worry about one picking on my shark/ray. I think a puffer would be a gamble.

jcrim quick question when how did you put the sand in the tank did you just pour it in and let the filter clean the water or did you pre clean if you did could you tell me what to do

Unfortunately you should clean the sand. I did it in buckets. The sand leaves a lot of black dust and your tank will clear up quicker if you get as much of the dust out as possible before putting it in the tank.

Sorry I missed this question b4... he's getting big... probably around 20 inches. Grew about 4 inches in 9 mo's. But that's probably because he eats like a pig!

I'm not sure what you're asking about... are you talking about the feather duster or livestock? The fish are a sohal tang, purple tang and miniatus grouper. Sorry if this doesn't answer your question.

jcrim, you have my dream tank!!!
Can i see a full tank shot?
So you can have rays and sharks in the same tank? I wanted a blue spotted ray, but heard they're like the hardest to take care of. What other kinds of rays can you get in that setup, do you know?
Yes, a puffer is a big no no, as well as triggers. They'll most likely pick on the shark. I want to get 2 bamboo sharks, and maybe a ray. Always wanted a moorish idol, so i may do that too. I love the black sand!!! great contrast with the epaulette shark! Are there many different colors of sand? My LFS only sells white. I would love to do black, but i'm afraid the bamboo sharks will blend in too much!
OOOHH i sooo want a panther grouper too! Your grouper is a beauty!
I'm in awe!!!

I have also heard that blue spotted rays are very delicate... that caused me to shy away from them. But rays are all equally entertaining in a tank. You could try a yellow stingray, cortez or bullseye stingray. I think the yellows are the most readily available. :happyfish
The only sand colors I know of are white, black, and a mix between the two. I agree that a moorish idol (if healthy) would be great with these types of fish. Post when you get yours set up.
Here's a full tank pic... and some pics of the newest fish. My grouper is being a real a--hole to it.
