Sorry man, if it were a female I would have taken it by now, only a 6hour drive but I already have a male retic.
I'd love to help you man, I'm in Indiana, but we haven't gotten our big tank yet. 
I'd LOVE to have a ray once we get it up and going. I don't think he'd be too hapy in a fully stocked 20 in the mean time though...

WELL WHEN ARE YOU GETTING IT?
It'll be at least 2 weeks, most likely. My wife got a promotion at work, but the paperwork has to go through still, so it isn't "official" yet. we're going to buy a 150-180 with her first check, since she'll be getting a $5/hour raise. But again, we're at the mercy of HR and paperwork. Don't wait on me.demjor19;811818; said:
And to be honest, this'll be my first Ray, so I'd almost rather get one from a fish store so that I am removed from the possibility of having to tell someone "yeah, remember that cute guy you gave me the deal on? He's in the ocean in the sky now...".

I'm 30 minutes north of indy.....I could house him temporarily if you want to pick him up. If he's eating shrimp/krill/dead foods he'll be fine with my other 2 rays for a while.
Trust me, you don't want a ray from the fish stores around indy. I've never seen a healthy one. I got a good one in Marion, but I think that would be the closest place to get a good one.
Uncle bills: Skinny as hell (they even had a skinny motoro which you almost have to try to acheive)
The Reef: Skinny as hell
Some other that I can't remember the name of: skinny as hell.
Ok, VERY interested at this point. I need to talk this over with my wife, and she's a very detail orineted person.
Like I said, I've never had a 'Ray before, so I don't even know if Reticulated Ray is a fresh or salt-water variety. Can someone point me to some basic info on this species? Would he need a 150+ set up, or would a 100-120 work just as well? I'll try to dig up some info on my own.

Just out of curiosity, is this the same one you had a few weeks ago who wouldn't eat? http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62660 I was looking in the stingray forum and saw that thread, just trying to be safe and check all the info i can.
