Bad idea.. can cause sudden pH fluctuations, and rays need alot of o2.. You also need alot of GPH/turnover in your filtration systems, which usually means lots of gas exchange for the good bacterias.

Also, rays are super active and will mow over most plants and uproot them, unless you are working with a gigantic tank, I don't think it would work.

Agree, Had my large tank planted many years ago and the rays would destroy the plants and uproot everything.
