I bought my tank last July, it has been setup for about a year before I got it. As with buying most used tanks, it had not been well cared for before my purchase, though I was not very aware of that at the time. I was also given an almost dead anemone (2-3 inches) with the tank and I am very proud of being able to nurse it back to health and have it thrive. I will attach some pictures that show the before and after, it recovered and has split 4 times. The largest is bigger than the palm of my hand (6-7 inches) and the splits have all been 3-4 inches each. My tank also came with a fair amount of aptasia and majano anemones which after some research and hard have mostly been eradicated, trial by fire!

The reward and hard work have made me absolutely love my tank and this hobby.
