From back-to-basics cleanup and setups to professional aquascaping and shrimp setups

This event brings together a plethora of experts in the aquarium hobby to showcase and demonstrate different techniques and procedures to maintain and improve aquariums.

​

The main goal of this event is to educate newcomers and experienced keepers alike on several topics and skills that may not be easily accessible or shown in other ways.

​

We also want to demonstrate different products, techniques, and useful tips and tricks that would make the hobby more enjoyable and interesting.

​

One of the focus areas will also be to attract the younger generation by having mini-workshops for children, reaching out to local schools, and providing information on easy-to-keep aquariums.
