FW sting rays are far more sensitive and expensive than the fish you already have. Even a tiny bit of ammonia is enough to damage or kill a ray. If time & money is that big an issue, I would stay away from rays. You'll end up killing it through lack of maintenance time. Any high maintenance, expensive species is a bad idea at this time, it sounds like.

Just my $.02.

It really only gets easier and cheaper as you move along in this hobby.
I run 4 SW tanks total, a 95, 14, 12 and 30 gallon.

You are so close to being in the best part of the hobby where you can actually sit back and enjoy after the big start up cost and sometimes expensive learning curve...

just my 2 cents...

I'm sure you wil enjoy yout 29 all the same...it just seems like you migh tbe cheating yourself a little bit by not givng it another couple months..
