Blue Kai Aquatics Is Back!

Very cool. Would like to see more pics of the exporters facilities if you can.
I will make a point to do that today. The first exporter in Jakarta had just shipped and there wasn't much livestock in the holding flats.
 
Today I will visit an exporter in Bali. I will make a point to post more pictures of the facility, etc. I have had a lot of good luck with this trip!!

I had my first meeting with a Bali based exporter yesterday. The meeting went very well. On Thursday we will travel to their larger farm on the Northwest corner of Bali. This will be the location we will get to see all the gigantea everyone has been waiting for. Have a look at the pictures of the facility I saw yesterday. So many corals and some very large SPS colonies which I didn't expect to see. The exporter told me that the large SPS colonies are all going to China as that is what they prefer. I would love to start eventually offering large SPS colonies as this is a part of the hobby I love as well, but Blue Kai will need to scale to support this in the future. The exporter was in the middle of an intermitant power outage that happened about 30 minutes after we arrived, so I apologize for the some of the dark images, haha. The systems are very simple. No dosing, large water changes using sea water, and manual fresh water top off. Please let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer.

Very cool! Excited to see this progress. Would love more than anything to find a red gig. Keep an eye out! Have a great trip!
Thanks so much! I am also interested in the red gigantea and have had this request from another as well. What I can add from working with gigs a good bit is that they are possibly a hybrid with species indicators from both haddoni and gigantea. Pretty interesting and must be very rare as it would be a total fluke. Very cool!

Really cool! Keep enjoying the trip and thanks for putting this much effort into Gig’s. By far they are the most amazing and my favorite thing in the hobby.

My favorite thing too. I’m going to make this work for everyone who wants one.
 
Wanted to share a pic of my current Gig’s. Unfortunately I lost the smaller blue a couple months ago. Would love to find another blue or red to take its place front and center.
