Thanks for the advice.

But I give up on ray for the moment.

Too much trouble for a office set up

its not only about ray, water chemistry is important to all fishes. quit ray, but dun quit fish keeping, you still need to learn and read up on the basics.

please do so or else whatever you keep, they will just die away.
