I would remove the silica sand. It is very sharp.

Personally it just weirds me out to see a man's nipple on MFK.

No because it was red before he went in the tank. The seller said that he was anxious and would calm down. After moving him the red has subsided for now. They are so small 4-5 inch disks.

I'm sorry for not providing updated pictures but I will after I move them into their new home this next week. They will be moving into a 180 breeder w/ some pbass juevies. They are all better now though the male still turns red when upset for whatever reason.
So my rays have been chilling with a yellow benga in a 75 on our super system in the basement.
I just finished plumbing a 180 in my bedroom into that filter setup. Now the system totals 1,200 gallons. At any rate I was going to move the rays into the 180 with a group of 15 orino pbass from another 75 to grow out together.
I wanted to setup the 180 as a planted tank, I know the pbass dig it.
Here it is so far, I was going to order some more plants not going to clutter it up just fill out the back a little the rays will be in there for another 2-4 inches in growth. when their disks are 8 inches they will move to the 300 gallon. Will they destroy the plants? Will they eat the crap out of snails I was going to establish as cleaners of algae? I was going to use Malaysian trumpet and ramshorn.
Your input is really appreciated.

If I can get feed back tonight I'll move my rays tonight. Waiting for the new glass tops to come in before moving the pbass(jumpers!)
My retics eat snails... any tank I've moved them into they destroyed any and all snails in a matter of days. particularly if there wasn't anywhere for the snails to hide other then the sand. I found a bunch of crushed up snail shells when I syphoned out the 120 when I moved them this past weekend. My rays haven't bothered any plants but tehya re all free-floating.. so i'de guess if they arne't attached to DW they would be dug up in the pursuit of snacks.
Ok, This is extremely helpful. I'll move the snails out and not invest more in plants till they move out into the 300 gallon.
