ANNUAL OVAS AUCTION: APRIL 28, 2019

Apr 8, 2019

 

Ottawa Valley Aquarium Society
2019 Giant Auction

 

SUNDAY, APRIL 28th

TOM BROWN ARENA
141 Bayview Rd, Ottawa, Ontario

 

A livestock and aquatic dry goods auction

This is an all-aquatic auction of fresh and saltwater fish, plants and invertebrates (corals, shrimp, molluscs), as well as dry goods (tanks & stands, driftwood, filters, etc.) that are new or used but in good condition. This annual auction is a major event on the OVAS calendar as it helps support the club to bring in speakers for our monthly presentations.

Everyone is welcome to attend – you do not need to be an OVAS member to bid or sell and there are always great deals to be had. Whether beginner, intermediate or advanced aquarist, this year’s auction is the place to be to buy, sell, and socialize with fellow fish-keepers.
