New here from New York….Bayside

Hey all just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Steve and I have a 2 1/2-year-old Redsea 650xl tank and today I did something amazing.

I have two new clown fish that I added to my tank and because my other fish became aggressive I decided to put them into a quarantine cage. After seeing other fish still being aggressive I decided I would try and invert the cage and put it over a fire anemone that had recently split. After a few hours I noticed that each new fish was hosting its own anemone so I removed the cage and each one continues to host its own.

Not exactly sure if my videos and photos will post but here I go

Hi Steve and Welcome! Glad you joined. YOUR TANK IS GORGEOUS!!! WOW. Just WOW

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

Welcome, to R2R !

A very cool observation, I look forward to hearing how it goes.

R2R is a great resource and you will likely get some great insight from the community.

Best wishes for 2022,
