The South Carolina Aquaria Association is proud to bring you the 1st Annual Carolina Aquatics Trade Show.  Vendors from all across the southeast will bring you a wide selection of Freshwater, Marine, and Reef livestock as well as aquaria related equipment, food, additives, and many, many other supplies.  We have a great line up of speakers discussing a wide range of topics covering marine, reef, and freshwater aquaria.  We also have a large selection of prizes which will be raffled off throughout the day.

General admission is $2 per person and children can get in free with accompanying adult.

Hours are from 11:00am til 5:00pm.

Looking for that hard to find freshwater shrimp or exotic plant? Or some cool plecos? Maybe you have some salt in your veins and you're looking to find that one (or two...or three...) perfect coral to complete your reef tank? We've got something for everyone.

We have tons of raffle and door prizes and an impressive lineup of speakers covering some interesting topics concerning freshwater and marine aquarium related issues.
