April 12th SEASL Meeting

[big red]

All,
The agenda for the April 12th meeting is shown below. The program will consist of helping Paul K. (host) do some tank set-up, calibrating our personal hydrometers, and a book review/swap. We also will be discussing the May Frag Trading and Sand Swap event. We have some good ideas but need some additional input and location suggestions.
If you have a refractometer, please contact me and let me know if you will be bringing it to the meeting. Bring your hydrometers and I will bring the saltwater. Also remember to bring your books for the review/swap.

Paul is hosting this meeting and will be sending directions in the near future.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
