    and also do you guys think there is room for any more fish? currently there are, 3x black clowns, 2x blue/green chromis, a YT blue damsel, 2x golden head sleeper gobies, a yellow tang and a blue tang, and of course the ray. im not planning on any new additions just curious if i had the room

    if you get the ray in the larger aquarium you were talking about then you might get away with a smaller fish or two since your tank can handle the ray.

    just a couple of extra pics, the ray seems to be settling into tank life nicely, and the rest of the fish are use to her already, the yellow tang follows her everywhere she goes haha its really quite cute i have some videos of her in action but im not sure how to get them onto her

    the only thing i would be worried about would be the increase in bioload. that ray, with all the feeding, is adding quite a bit of nutrients and will only increase. what are your water params? as i see the blooms on the sand. your ray/tank is looking great. just an observation mate, i think that your tank would look amazing once you get rid of that bloom on the sand and it returns back to pristine white sandy bottom. maybe a queen conch? or other sand stirrer?

    i have been keeping an eye on my parrams, and amm/rite are both at 0 and rates are about 5, but they were around 5 for the month before getting the ray, she has been in the tank for about 3 weeks, so im hoping everything will stay stable, as for the blooms, they are only really in a slow spot in the middle most of the sand is a nice white, so a conch may be the answer to that problem
    (some of the pics where from a couple of weeks ago so the algae has died of since also)
