Hmmm. Of course it'll help, but perhaps not enough. If it was me, dependind on quantity and size of the rays, i puted a mechanic filtration.
About how much water surface area would you need in a planted sump to sustain 4 adult stingrays in a 360 gallon?

You can always build an indoor pond with plywood and ABS plastic.

Good idea ;)

too much humidity... as if there isn't enough in brisbane, Australia

You can build in a magnetic lid with a rubber seal around the edges, with the sump the only semi-exposed area of your tank. or you could just use a bubbler that feeds oxygen into the pump (some aquaclear pumps come with this feature) as the water is sent back into the pond. At least, that's what I am doing.

You can cover the indoor pond. It’s good to maintain humidity low and constant temperature.

Hmmm, interesting question. My rays pond have, more or less, 2000 gallons. Half is full of plants and the other half as lots of surface plants. I would say that for maintaining 4 adult rays I would need almost 2700 gallon. So you would need a sump with 1350 gallon full of plants :WHOA:. Complicated, eheheh. Lots of water and lots of plants.

hmm... if you say so.

I took some vacation days and was out of the country. But everything is ok. In the ray pond the water temperature is still very nice. :D
