I believe it was sometime in 2004 I started seeing the screen name melevsreef show up frequently on ReefCentral and elsewhere. This forum user was extremely helpful many times.

The guy behind the screen name melev or melevsreef turned out to be Marc Levenson. He not only helped me with his posts, and several podcasts, but he also helped thousands of other aquarist. In 2024, Marc was given the MASNA award for his contributions to the hobby. He has tens of thousands of subscribers on YouTube, thousands of Facebook followers, and over 200,000 people have visited his website. On melevsreef.com he has a creature ID section, tons of helpful articles, a blog, and a store. If you have ever been helped by "melevsreef" / Marc or found his content useful take a look at his reef store to see if there is anything you might need and be sure to subscribe to Coral Magazine where Marc is now the executive editor!
