junkitu Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thanks everyone! Also if you don't mind me asking.....how much did that litte dude set you back? I've seen them go from $80-$300 online and at LFSs. I've seen them from $120-$200 in this area. More great shots Marvin! Thanks but actually my name's "Tony". Link to comment
junkitu Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 I got tired of looking at the algae growth on the back wall so I decided to scrape it so you can see the black background. It really helped make the colors in my tank pop so I decided to take a few more pics. Let me know what you think.

Nick's Reef Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Looks better, seems to be alot of blotched anthias coming in, LFS got another pair, bigger one is $250, baby one is in the small display until he gets to big, then goes into owner's personal tank. Link to comment

Thanks Nick. Yeah, the Borbonius must be "in season". The one I picked up is a large one (2-2.5") but I only paid half that price here in CA. Link to comment
junkitu Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 As always, I love looking at your thread! I also got a swallowtail, I think even from the same store in San Mateo I've had a hard time getting mine to eat. Tries everying and then spits it out. Have only had it for about 1 week though. What do you feed yours / did you have a hard time getting it to eat? The swallowtail is an awesome fish. Did you pick yours up at Ultimate Aquarium and was it eating there? Mine eats everything that I feed the tank: frozen brine shrimp, pellets, flake, and cyclopeez. What are you feeding yours? Link to comment
dtfleming Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 He called you Marvin hahahaha Link to comment
nat Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Beautiful tank! How did you end up attaching the four point hanging light to the Zeroedge lamp tree? Did I miss a photo showing how that worked? I need to do the same thing myself. Link to comment
Needreefunds Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Thanks but actually my name's "Tony". Sorry Tony.....that is what happens when I surf too many awesome tank threads at the same time...... Hopefully being compared to Marvin is not a bad thing. He called you Marvin hahahaha meh, read your avitar.........Dave. Link to comment
junkitu Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Sorry nat, I must just realized that I never replied to your post. I used the hanging kit that came with my Outer Orbit fixture and just attached it to the zeroedge stand. Link to comment
junkitu Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 This tank turns a year old in a couple weeks. Man that went fast. Here are a couple new pics: Here are my clowns staring each other down from their adopted homes. A wider shot of the cove and its inhabitants FTS. I still don't have a Ca reactor but the SPS are showing nice growth and color. Link to comment

junkitu Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Thanks everyone. Now that it's been running for a year the tank and my maintenance routine have settled in nicely. I chose a 55g tank so I could use the same maintenance regimen that I use on my 24g: weekly 20% water changes and dosing b-ionic. Link to comment
JKUNZ Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Thanks everyone. Now that it's been running for a year the tank and my maintenance routine have settled in nicely. I chose a 55g tank so I could use the same maintenance regimen that I use on my 24g: weekly 20% water changes and dosing b-ionic. I understand the concern keeping with whats comfortable....I'm building a 135, and currently dose with b-ionic and do weekly water changes on my 25.....I don't know yet if I'll be able to continue to dose with b-ionic financially in a larger set-up. I love you tanks though, simply awesome! EDIT: What fish is that in your signature pciture??? Link to comment
Mercuryne Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 as always.. one of the cleanest.. best looking reefs on the site. nice Tony.... really nice.. Link to comment
quy_nquyen Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Since i got into hobby in 2006 your tanks has always been one of the best. Link to comment
junkitu Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Thanks again! What fish is that in your signature pciture??? It's called a Blotchy Anthias or Borbonius. They're deeper water anthias that live in caves and overhangs. Mine lives under the orange digi colony in my sig. He comes out often to swim around and then retreats back to his cave. The fish has amazing colors and is very fun to watch. Unfortunately, they aren't always available and they aren't cheap. I've seen people say they cost anywhere from $80-$250. Link to comment
junkitu Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hi Junkitu: How about an update? Do you still have the Sunburst Anthia. I just bought one today and was hoping you could share a little about how you keep yours. I was at Ultimate Aquarium last week. They had an awesome selection of fish. Thanks. Not much new. I do still have my sunburst. He was my first fish in this tank. In fact I now have 3 anthias: a sunburst, a geo hawk, and a borbonious. All three are doing fine even though I only feed the tank 4x a week. Here are some recent pics: Link to comment
Ando Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 WOW your tank is very impressive!!! I like your rock work.... Reminds me of mine. Link to comment
junkitu Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 WOW your tank is very impressive!!! I like your rock work.... Reminds me of mine. Thanks! Glad you like it. I just checked out your recent FTS. My Aquapod24 scape is very similar to yours as well. Check out the link in my sig below. BTW, I have some relatives named Ando. Is that your last name?
