The Raleigh Aquarium Society (RAS) was founded in 1981 to encourage and enhance the education, knowledge, and enjoyment of Society members at all levels of experience about the many aspects of the home aquatics hobby. We welcome participants at all levels of experience (including none - we all started that way!)
