Stingray Elite 10 Filter Any Good For .......

[MrWhite]

I have 60l biorb that I put sand in yesterday I was wondering if I could put a betta in there with a stingray filter ? Also could I put the filter in my mature tank so I wouldn't have to cycle the biorb again if so how long would I have to leave the filter in my mature tank ? Thanks

For a shape like a biorb I wouldnt think a stringray was the best idea, they are large and awkwardly shaped. I mean you could do it, but it would take up a lot of space. The best way to mature it would be to either like you say put it on your main tank, for about 2-3 weeks or use some of your mature media from your main tank, they dont use a lot of media those stringrays, so a small chunk out of your main filter would work fine.

From memory the Stingrays come in 3 sizes the 10's are for upto 40L the 15's for upto 60L.

I have both, I think the one missing from the range is smaller.

They are an odd shape ok for smaller tanks.

In my opinion if you need a visible filter for a tank they are more fish shaped, and named after one than the block effect ones.
