Good evening and happy holidays. I wanted to ask if you think my rays, even though they just ate, are breathing faster than normal. Today I removed the air pump as a test and put a wavemaker in its place. The aquarium is 1500 liters, the temperature is 27.3 degrees Celsius (I'm thinking of dropping it to 26.5, should I do that?). Ammonia is 0, nitrites 0 and nitrates never go beyond 15-20 since I do water changes 2-3 times a week depending on the condition of the aquarium from 20%-50% each time. I've had the fish for a year and they eat mussels and anchovies every day, sometimes I feed them superworms and shrimp. My filtersystem are: 2* 1200xl Eheim full biological media, 2*fx6 for mechanical filtration and one 1500xl Eheim full of biological media
