Unhappy Braceless Tank For Rays

Hi bros, was shocked this morning when my mum came knocking on my bedroom door saying my ray is on the floor... So me and my wifey quickly get up and went to check it out. To my horror, the ray is really on the living room floor flapping it disc... With the help of my wifey, we manage to get the poor fellow back to the tank... Take abt 5-10mins to remove frm the floor as it is stuck on the floor like suction cap... It seem very stress from the impact it fell off from cos it a 2 tier tank...
Wonder how it fell off frm the tank?

Lesson learn frm this incident:

1. Never use a braceless tank with 90% full of water.
2. Always use glass cover for ur tank...

Hmm most prob is that it sort of manage to flap itself out of the tank. my ray use to do tat. sort of flappig itself on the side of the tank, work great as a cleaner :P but i do have a bracing to stop it from flapping out (luckily)

Thanks bros, this is the first time such thing happen to my ray... Luckily the rest of the tanks got bracing all around, if not another flying incident...

Glad to hear ray is alright. Take this as a lesson learnt. Always at all time cover the tank.
