I'm getting a 5 year old ray for my 500 gallon, this indeed will be my first ray! Are there any suggestions on how you would properly acclimate them? Or are they the same as fish. I wanna make sure I do it right
Proper way to acclimate ray
- Thread starter monsterK
- Start date
I always drip acclimated my rays for at least 1 hour with an air stone in the tub with them even when just moving them across the room to a different tank. Typically id do 1 hr slow drip then speed it up to an open airline tubing for the second hr then drop em in. Remove water as ur going to keep the ray from jumping out. Keep a lid on the tub/container also.
Is the new ray coming a short distance, or being shipped from somewhere far away? I used to add a couple cups of water at a time. Repeat after 5 minutes or so. Remove a couple cups of water the ray is in, then add more tank water.
