My tank is at 80 right now; I've read they need high temps, like discus. Should I bump it up to 82? I know the severums in the tank can take the heat, but I'm not sure about the fire eel or pleco.
What temp is your ray tank at?

Agreed bro.
The higher the temp, the less chance for disease, parasites, etc...
Just make sure to have plenty of surface aggitation to keep the O2 exchange high.
There is a bubbler in the tank, along with my two XP3s' spray bars, so I guess O2 exchange shouldn't be a problem. I'm worried most about the eel, heard they can't take high temps to long. I'll bump it up slowly to 84.

Bump it up slowly over an extended period of time. Just keep track of any behavioral changes. Keep in mind, higher metabolism and aggressive behavior is common at a higher temp, for most fish.
