Steev:

Teh text of the presidents message is as follows.  I am finishing the how to 
work with SMS article and will forward picturs for the newsletter.  Anyone else 
have good picture of a swap?

Message from the President:

I hope everyone enjoyed our March meeting, on plants, by Luis Navarro.  I am 
always impressed by how much can be done with just a few plants and an 
asymmetric design.  Hopefully some of the rare donations from Luis, Aquarium 
Design Group (www.aquariumdesigngroup.com) and Florida Aquatic Nurseries will 
take root and be shared.  My tanks have regressed to a âglass menagerieâ 
status, I, for one, will now be moving forward and scaling back from ârampant 
collectorâ status to a more stable and pacific âgreenâ planted tank style soon. 
You can expect a huge crop to show up at the April Auctionâ

Our April Auction is right around the corner on SATURDAY April 12th.  If you 
can help set up, please stop by (starting at 10 am).  If you a selling a large 
number of items or heavy tanks please check in at 11 am or sooner.  Directions 
to the loading ramp are in the announcement below.  The auction starts at noon 
and goes until everything has a new home.

Finally, thanks to the efforts of Larry and Susan our club is literally 
swimming in the inexpensive black substrate sold as Soil Master Select or 
Turface.  This cheap, black substrate is great in âfish tanks, with plantsâ 
such as my large clown barbs featured a little latter in this issue.  I also 
included a few tips learned from working with Fluorite to make a substrate swap 
easier.
