Tonga Pics for you!

[Anonymous]

Hey everyone!
As you may know, Jim and I went to Tonga to consult on the set up of a coral farm. We got so enthusiatic that it looks like we are going to be starting an NPO to help do this in other locations. The working name is ReefStewards and the website is:
www.ReefStewards.org
The entire NPO idea is a work in progress.
Almost all the pics from the trip are up. Enjoy!-Jim and Rich

Great pics. Those Montipora nodosas are beautiful, did you bring any of those back with you?

I have one of the chunks in the tank. It is not holding it color. I don't know anyone who has gotten one to do so - sad.

Rich, I know this might be taxing your brain but do you happen to know how big the Zoanthid colony is in this picture

It looks absolutely huge!

Btw if there are issues with posting the picture here let me know and I'll delete it.

No problem with the pic;

It was huge, like 4 feet.

Wow 4 feet! I was thinking maybe 2 feet across, but wow.. although I think with that in my tank I'd get bored very quickly as it'd take up most of my tank

Maybe you guys should try shade cloth?

Actually, shade cloth has been installed since we left.-Jim

Wow you guys were very lucky to be able to help out there. Looks like some great progress is being made there. The new jobs alone should make the belongers there happy. 8)

Congrats on some excellent work to both of you!

It was definitely cool. A real rush to be involved in a medium scale, but growing, farm.-Jim
