Marc Levenson

Biography: My real name is Marc Levenson, but online I'm known to most as melev. I've been in the hobby for over 12 years. I run a website called www.melevsreef.com that is designed to help hobbyists everywhere.

My site started off as a single page many years ago talking about my 29g, but the page grew longer and longer. It was like a never-ending blog, until one day I started Page Two about a new project for my tank - a sump. Over time, the site grew to include additional topics of interest such as acrylic work, photography, critter identification, solutions to a variety of pests, information about my tanks, lighting, feeding, and more. There is always something new being added as time permits. Now entire sections are themed so that you can stay in a particular train of thought. I've begun the task of translating some popular pages into other languages to reach more individuals globally.

After being online for years, I became part owner of a reef-related podcast. www.reefcast.com which now has 30 different episodes available for download. Most of them are audio downloads in mp3 format but there are a few vidcasts mixed in as well. We keep it casual, fun, and still cover a variety of topics to help others be successful reef keepers.
