Actually AW my girlfriend loves the hobby she was the one who got me into it. She used to own her own SWF store. She has always wanted a ray and never got one so I was gonna please her but i'll wait till my cafe is done and my 250G goes in then That should make her happy
. Thank you all again for the advice.... Mucho appreciated

Psu can you post some pics of you 300 pls.
Drew, you will just have to tell your girlfriend that you can get a ray but first you will have
to buy a 400 gallon tank. I know it will be hard haveing to look at a 400 gallon tank every day cough cough... but I know that you can do it for her.

i have NO plans on getting a ray in the near future, but just out of curiousity, how much did u pay for your whole tank setup? and the rays and such... just wondering how much would be invested for that kind of thing.

:notsure: I'm not sure but I think you may have overpayed a little for some of those fish. Looks like a great stock list and I can't wait to see that stand your working on post pics as soon as you get it set up!!
