Browsing the tables of items at the big general auction
General Auction
In lieu of the April meeting, the club hosts a monster blowout all-day General Auction. A mixture of
donations from local and national
businesses, and items from members, one never knows what is going
to show up at the general auction. Brand-new big tanks, boxes of
dust-covered old gear, unique fish... the general auction has it all.
The general auction is the club’s largest single source of funding for the year, so the public is invited and encouraged to bid
high and bid often!

Aquatic Plant (and Livestock) Auction
Our November meeting normally consists of a multi-hour Aquatic Plant auction
(though in recent years we’ve also allowed fish and other livestock).
The majority of the items are grown locally by members, but we also
purchase a large box of wholesale plants from
Florida Aquatic Nurseries.
The plant auction is a great way to obtain a large variety and
number of plants. Maybe you’re setting up a new tank, or deciding to
get into aquascaping for the first time. We’ve got you covered!
We do our best to quickly describe the requirements of the
different plants, but your best bet is to bring a reference book if
you want to know specifics.

Monthly Auctions
At the conclusion of most other meetings (Christmas party and
Picnic excluded), there is typically a small auction of items brought
in by members. Great deals are often had at these auctions,
because of the smaller crowd and pool of items. Nonetheless, they
have become very popular in recent years, some rivaling our big
auctions.
