Welcome to the Vermont Marine Aquarist (VMA) Website!

The VMA is a group of saltwater hobby enthusiasts that share in the same interests. The goal is to promote interest in the hobby through education, propagation, and participation.

Anyone who has tried the saltwater aquarium hobby has found it to be an incredibly challenging endeavor. The VMA provides multiple avenues of education for making saltwater aquaria and/or reefkeeping easier and more rewarding. These avenues include a community forum, guest lectures, product demos, and aquarium visits.

The VMA is also very supportive in the propagation of marine fish and reefs. Members of the VMA share pieces of their tanks with each other in hopes of propagating these corals/fish to share with others. This helps with an individual tank's diversity and beauty, while keeping cost to a minimum.

Participation in the saltwater hobby is of utmost importance to the VMA. The more members that participate in the VMA, the bigger the resource we can become. Please contact us on how to become a member of the Vermont Marine Aquarists.

VMA Frag Draft 2011
Saturday November 5, 2011. 12pm-5pm
33 Agnes Drive. Huntington, Vermont.

Cocktails from 12-1pm and the frag draft to follow.

A frag draft is an event where members buy picks. A vendor ships coral for the draft. Each member draws a card for however many picks they have. Their card becomes their pick order.
It's a fun, social way to get coral frags! For more detailed information, please refer to the upcoming meetings/gatherings thread on our forum.
