30" Wide tank with 27" internal width.

Yes I have the tank already, I was pretty sure that the Jardini only got to be 24" that should still leave 3" of turning room, and they don't need full body length to turn.
I was afraid that I might not be able to keep rays, and have been thinking as a backup Discus.
edit: I didn't think all jardini even reached the 24"

I think the depth would be a pain to look after and you do need to be certain that the circulation of the filters keeps the base clean, the rays would do a good job of churning up any sand.
27 inches is too small width for most adult rays but a pup male would take a while to out grow it. A male pearl or maybe a male marbled motoro is likely to last a while. Males are generally smaller and marbled motoros seem to be smaller than normal ones.
I don't know that I could work wth 4 ft deep but the volume is useful for stability.
Whilst it may not be perfect it is undoubtedly better than many and if you are prepared to go wider within maybe 2 years then a small male might do the job but t1 is correct that it is not a ray shaped tank.
I have a 6x3 and it feels small after 1 yr of ray ownership. (it is actually a tiny bit under 3)

Jardini are a very aggressive fish and you will be lucky to keep it with anything else which would be a waste of tank space in a tank that size
But this is the ray section do some research on the temperament of a large jar in the aro section

You could take the front or back panel off the tank and lay it down and use that panel (after cutting of course) to make a panel for what is now the top opening and turn it into a 8'x4' footprint tank. You could probably have a glass shop do it for a reasonable price.

I wish I could, but because its acrylic I cant just remove a panel. I could cut the and bond it to the openings in the top. However the problem is the overflow it would be wasted space and I would lose about 4 or 5 inches.
I guess I will have to spend some time researching and figure out some type of stock and setup.
thanks.
