I once kept a pair of Sakura rays for 18 months from a mere 8'' to 23''. No WC, diet sotong all the way. The pair got up the lolly from feeding MP while I'm oversea. Haizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Simple, feed few times like 4 to 5 times a day, feed just enuf and don over do it. Impt is don feed only 1 single food, cfm will kill ur rays. Do a mix diet is best.

Cfm la. No matter wat u do to ur filtration, no matter wat u add to ur water, no water change mean toxic in long run.

Sad to mention, my gd frd breeding BDs for 2 to 3 yrs doing minimum wc, end up.loosing 7 big fm BDs recently. We learn as go go along, no wc is no no no for rays.

Not if you can create magic water or have filtration technology that even Hyflux would have to kowtow to. Maybe you and your breeder friend should seek KS' expertise in this..

Wow!
You managed to develop extremely efficient Protein Skimmer that no only works in FW plus no need power to operate! And I'm guessing it must be pretty small enough to fit in a typical Sump Cabinet!

Do Share your Protein Skimmer leh! You have a world class tech here that can earn millions and I hope you had it Patented as well!
