Is Pool filter sand ray safe ?

I know its prolly been asked but when I did a search I couldn't find much info , so can someone Please help me out ?
Thus far in my fish keeping I have only kept large aggressive cichlids ... now I notice myself switching over to the calming more relaxing tanks with aros and rays and a shoal of colorful fish for mid tank .

Can earth eaters be kept with rays ? just starting to really like them .

I heard tin foils make great ray tank mates ( they clean up the rays poo ?) is that true ?


I am sorry guys I am sure everyone is tired of answering questions over and over , I have been keeping fish for over a decade but have never owned a ray , I know some but I have a long way to go before I make the purchase

when I am ready I think I am going to buy motoros , from what I read they are a good beginers ray and I really like the colors and patterns and I heard they can be a very personable fish some what dog like , is this true ?

Now I am going to give everyone a chance to tell me in your own opinion what arethe most important things that YOU think ALL ray keepers Should know

Thank everyone in advance I am really looking forward to hearing everyones responces

ok Kool Thanks so much!
water quality shouldn't be a problem , going to be running a large sump, 2 Fx5's plus a fluiodized bed filter with a ton of K1 media and I am going to have a auto water changer set at 75 - 100 Gpd but that is a tank they will go in once grown , I plan on buying pups and they'd be going into a 150 or a 180 by themselves with an Fx5 and a large sump with a bunch of bio balls .
Still would like any info anyone would like to give me whether it be about Diet, tankmates, other substrates, decor or no decor ( want to use some decor in my tank like drift wood but scared too )
Just any info to do with ANYTHING rays . Thanks in advance

O good Idea!

I will go pick up some tommorow !!!
