Hi Guys i am new to ray keeping.

wanted to actually have aros in my tank but i cant help but notice how beautiful rays are.

right now i have already set up the tank with this black crystal sand which is a home brand of a LFS in my country. i googled about but am still slightly confuse about the different kind of sand.

May i know if this will be safe for rays?

Tbh never heard of that brand of gravel and sand. If the sand is smooth so it won't irritate the rays underside and gills then it will be safe substrate.
