Since rays bury in the sand they ill naturally keep the sand "stirred." There is really no trick into maintaning it really. Sand is no neccesary for rays though.

I used to keep sand with my rays...they'd kick it up into my filters and clog them up....ruined a few impellers too.

Dont use sand itll ruin your filter. If you want to get the surface area that the sand has, get a fluidized bed filter, if you dont like a bare bottom go with smooth gravel. A bare bottom is good for the beggining at least, because you can make sure your new ray is acclimating n eatin well
