How will two 10" marbles fair with an 8 year old 20" jar? The jar is alone by himself in a 240 gallon tank and i want to add some rays. He's pretty aggressive which is why he's alone. Thanks guys

Jar can work, but you said he was agressive. So probably not. Leichardi might be a better option, as it is not as agressive.
I have a 2 year old silver which is 18in with my 2 motoros 10in and 5in. I also had 2 baby retics too and they were okay. The aro pretty much leaves everyone alone, even my SA cichlids. Although I did notice that one of my green severums where missing..... You can decide on your own conclusion.

Thanks for the input. I have an extra tank if it doesn't work out but my concern is the stress on the rays after shipping and the possibility of being bullied put together. How hardy are MM's to those with experience?
Ok, hope this will help...
Feed jar until it wont receive any more food..
then you can put the marbles in.
In my case, aro will go and do some manuvers near / on top of the rays,
but since it's very full , it wont even bother to open its jaw to attack the ray.
This will last a whole day and then aro will lose interest in the ray..
Keep in mind to always feed your aro until its fullest, at least for a day or two,
then you can go back to whatever routine you have.
Anyway, its just my experience, so you should keep an eye for any actions happening in the tank and get another tank ready for separation.
My worst scenario now is having a serious drop eye on the aro
