you got it, I think you have to aim to keep them below 20ppm and then obviously nitrites and ammonia need to be perfect constantly.

your going to need more than a 20 gallon to keep rays.

i'm pretty sure 60gallons is the least you can get away with for the smallest species.

with rays you should get a tank thats got a large footprint as they grow outwards.

Even a 60g tank isnt really big enough for any species of ray unless it is a custom built tank with height sacrificed for width. The absolute minimum sized tank for keeping rays needs to have a footprint of 48x24" for them to be happy, i would suggest nothing smaller than 100 gallons (48x24x24") for rays.
