Speaker: Marc Levenson, founder and owner of Melevsreef.com
From Ft. Worth, Texas, Marc “melev” Levenson has been in the hobby since 1998, blogging about his experiences with his own reef on melevsreef.com to help others learn husbandry skills. More recently, Marc has become an online personality with tens of thousands of followers on his YouTube channel (melevsreef) aiming to help other reefers through his personal experiences. His website features articles, blogs, and Critter ID and covers topics like pest control, feeding techniques, working with acrylics, reef photography and water chemistry to name a few. Twenty years ago, Marc added an online store to his website, making it his full time job in 2009. In it, he carries many products like his RODI systems, custom sumps and even includes some items that he himself invented as clever solutions to make reefkeeping easier.
Marc is a nationally recognized speaker (including 6 times at MACNA); and recommends supporting local club events, shopping local fish stores, and interacting with others via social media. Marc is an avid DIYer and builds what he can’t buy, often out of acrylic. And, he loves seeing what others can accomplish or have tried to move the hobby forward. His other hobby is diving, exploring natural reefs. His current tanks are a 400-gallon reef and a 60-gallon anemone cube, filled with captive bred fish and aquacultured corals.
Topic: Sump & Plumbing Considerations You Need ToKnow
Planning out your sump setup and plumbing in advance is the best way to avoid all sorts of headaches later. Is your plumbing a mess or a work of art? Is it quiet or loud? Are you just avoiding it? Updating it now will be better for your fish and corals during an emergency. In his talk, Marc will delve into what types of solutions you can implement to keep things running smoothly, in good weather and in bad.
