LOCATION: Gordon & Megan's House, 2379 Marine Drive, West Vancouver
The Reef Network Auction is an opportunity to meet other reefkeepers, to promote aquaculture in Vancouver and to trade specimens from our saltwater aquariums. In the spirit of the Reef Network, this social event/auction is not intended to compete with retailers, nor is it an opportunity for people to sell "at retailer's rates".
20% of each auction will go towards the Reef Network. $Cash$ ONLY.
* Please feel free to bring a "tank warming" gift for our hosts, Gordon and Megan, as they are new to the hobby.
