Here's a little information on the next meeting:
This month we are very proud to have Julian Sprung as a speaker. Julian is a long time member and club supporter. Julian has written many books including "The Reef Aquarium" (3 volumes), "Reef Notes", and many others. At this meeting Julian will most likely hold a book signing. The meeting is free for all to attend. It will be held at the New River Middle School Library, 3100 Riverland Rd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312 on August 22nd @ 7:15. As usual, there will be a frag/livestock auction. Please bring any frags you may have to help out.

Welcome!!! We have a very friendly attendance at the meetings, and this meeting should bring some of the more "lurking" members out of the woodwork. We hope to see you there!

We usually have a frag/fish auction at the end of each meeting. I believe this month will be the same. Also we hope to be having another big frag swap / equipment sale in November.

Welcome Ryan ...
I just joined recently myself, it's a great group of people with a wide range of experience. They have had a great auction at the end of every regular meeting that I have attended, so be sure to bring your wallet.
