Indonesia Trip

[Tparsons]

So I wanted to share some exciting news.

Patrick and Shaun have been spending the past week and a half exploring the main islands of Java and Bali and will be spending the next week and a half exploring a few other of the smaller surrounding islands. Diving and coral collection is their main goal of the trip, but of course they will be taking some time to explore the culture and sights as well.

I will be documenting there trip here on Reef Central and on other forums, uploading pictures and sharing some of their experiences over these next three weeks :)

Patrick and Shaun got in to see some suppliers when they first arrived in Jakarta and saw some neat set-ups and interesting corals!

One of the coolest things I heard about was a fish which lived in the coral beds at the supplier.
It loves to swim up to you and let you pet it!

Check out the photos below;

Patrick told me that the fish was HUGE!
"It was pretty cool, it would swim up to you, turn its side towards you and look at you with one eye. If you moved to say try and get a better view of some corals the eye on that side moved and kept watching you and the farm owner explained to us that be was waiting to be pet."

One of the facilities with these mindblowing pieces used XM20K bulbs, but still no actinics and look at these pieces!

Very cool Love the pictures

[P_Foster]

Thanks!

We will have some more pics posted shortly so do check in again. The internet connections that we had while we were there were insanely slow so we couldnt upload very many pics to our server and post them on the forum and pretty much as soon as I got back we were on the road again heading to MAX with some amazing product releases!

The internet connection speed there reminded me of the early days of dial up....

[moondoggy4]

Good to see you at MAX
