Im planning a 270 gallon indoor pond for a pair of motoro stingrays and possibly an arrowana or two later down the road. however i would love some advice on what rock i should use for the bottom of it as well as the plants for the decoration around it. the rocks need to be perfectly smooth to keep the rays from injury and nothing was coming to mind at the time. so any indoor pond tips and decorating advice would be much appreciated.
Indoor Motoro Stingray Pond

Sand or bare bottom. no stone for a stingray.
I'd go with a white sand so the ray can settle down in it a bit.

I agree sand or bare. I would suggest using sand. I would personally make it a even bigger tank so they have lots of space!
A nice pale coloured sand I reckon.

you could stir the sand so the silt comes to the top of the sand and then siphon the muck off.
If you have strong enough circulation the rays stirring up the sand might be enough for the muck to just get sucked into the filter.
If your pond is going to be against a wall/walls you could look into putting in a vertical garden/living wall:grinyes: for planting.
