Saturday April 24, 2010
Please join us for this one of a kind event featuring two exciting speakers!! CMAS is pleased to welcome Mr. Mark Vera and Mr. Marc Levenson
CMAS Presents Mr. Mark Vera of Phyto 2
Mark Vera has been keeping marine aquariums since 1991 during which he has worked in many capacities of the aquarium industry. In addition he has worked on various personal and public research projects and spent two years breeding H. reidi and is currently serving as President of MOFIB, the Marine Ornamental Fish & Invertebrate Breeders Association. Being an active Divemaster, Mark travels extensively diving lakes, rivers, and oceans throughout the world and is a regular aquarium diver at the worlds aquarium the John G. Shedd Aquarium. Between travels Mark owns and operates a specialty aquarium installation and service company and contributes as staff on C"¦ The Journal of Aquatic Science. Mark is also the creator of the Phyto2 and Zoo2 product lines and continues research on the value of live Plankton in the captive aquarium and natural aquarium life support.
CMAS Presents Mr. Marc Levenson of Melevs Reef
Known to most as melev, Marc has been in the hobby for 12 years. He runs a website called www.melevsreef.com that is designed to help hobbyists everywhere. His 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 he 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 his 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. He's begun the task of translating some popular pages into other languages to reach more individuals globally.
After being online for years, he 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.
He has been a fan of MACNA since 2002, been on the BOD for MASNA.org for a year, and on the BOD for DFWMAS for over four years. I was the club president of DFWMAS for three of those years, working to keep the membership growing and provide interesting content both online and at our monthly meetings. He has written a few magazine articles both online and in print, and was a contributing author to an e-book called Reefkeeping Basics. For the past two years, he's spoken to a number of clubs across the nation. In his spare time, he's the editor of Reefkeeping Magazine, too. And between all of that, he still finds time to care for a 280g reef that is his pride and joy.
Included with your admission, we will also supply a light breakfast, coffee, water and soft drinks, as well as Lunch to all attendees!!
