My Trip to AquaShella in Dallas, Texas



Last Fall, I got an email from a fellow YouTuber by the name of coralfish12g, maybe you have heard of him. George asked me if I was able to make it out to AquaShella Chicago, but I was unable to make the trip. 

Fast forward 7 months and I find myself sitting on a plane heading to AquaShella Dallas. The plan was to go to Aquashella then leave for Reef-A-Palooza where I had a Booth for Mystery Reef Box.

I didn’t really know what to expect with Aquashella although I heard a few people loved the experienced and said it was like nothing the had ever seen for the aquarium industry.

So when I showed up on the first day I had a plan to show up a little late so I didn’t need to stand in line. I was wrong… When I got there I saw a line with on beginning. So I made my way to the back, but thankfully Rico saved me.

Rico brought me to the front handed me some moonshine (from the reefshineguys) and a pair of coral viewing glasses. I had made it to Aquashella.

Here is an example of some of the amazing art work seen at Aquashella, Dallas, Texas.

Final Thoughts of Aquashella

If you ever get the chance to go to Aquashella I strongly recommend checking it out. It was familiar to most aquarium conventions but with a brand new twist. I absolutly love the strong focus on bringing aquariums and art together.

What I like most about the show is that it brings all “neighboring” aquarium hobbyist together. fresh, salt, reptiles and art smashed into one amazing event. Kinda makes me want to start a freshwater tank again…
