I acclimated some mollies from brackish to saltwater in another tank and introduced two of them to our 55g saltwater reef tank tonight. They became fast friends with our two ocellated clownfish! I can't wait for them to meet our ​

This is upon initial introduction last night. Please excuse the fact that I used an LED flashlight and my iPhone to record this. Don't mind the birdies either!

Honestly, they were born into brackish water and were tossed into saltwater one time when a tank mate had ich and they kinda seemed happier there. After returning to brackish, I waited a few days and just filled a 10g with saltwater and sand and tossed a few in there and they seemed really happy! The only REAL acclimation I did, to be honest, was with the feeding. I put in live rock and chaeto covered in pods to hopefully get them used to that and frozen food every other day. I didn't want them to starve.
