About Us:

The Central Coast Marine Aquarium Society (CCMAS) is a vibrant and inclusive reefkeeping community on the California central coast dedicated to promoting the art and science of marine aquarium keeping. We are passionate about creating a supportive network of fellow enthusiasts, sharing knowledge, and fostering a love for the captivating world of reef ecosystems. With our quarterly events, online forum for buying and selling, and annual Frag Farmers Market, we strive to provide a comprehensive platform for reefkeepers of all levels to connect, learn, and grow.

Reefkeeping Community:
At CCMAS, we aim to build a strong and united reefkeeping community. We believe that by connecting passionate hobbyists, we can collectively enhance our understanding of marine ecosystems, promote responsible husbandry practices, and ensure the long-term health and sustainability of our reef tanks.

Quarterly Events:
We organize Quarterly events throughout the year, bringing together enthusiasts, experts, and industry professionals. These events provide a platform for sharing experiences, learning from expert speakers, participating in workshops, and exploring new advancements in reefkeeping technology and practices.

Forum for Buying and Selling: 
Our online forum serves as a convenient marketplace for members to buy, sell, and trade corals, fish, equipment, and other reef-related items. It provides a safe and trusted environment for transactions, allowing hobbyists to expand their collections and contribute to the growth of the community.

Annual Frag Farmers Market: 
The Frag Farmers Market is a highly anticipated event where members can showcase and trade their own homegrown coral frags. This event not only facilitates the exchange of unique and diverse corals but also serves as a fundraising opportunity for the society to support conservation efforts and educational initiatives.
