• Save Melev's Reef-A-Thon


    Ok people, here is the dealio... at some point in this hobby of ours, Marc or Melev's Reef has probably helped you out in one way or another. Whether you've stumbled on his articles while googling 'sumps' or followed his tank threads for the past 6 years, you know that Marc is one of the kindest most helpful people in this hobby.

    Since his tank had this unexpected leak, I think it's time we as a community show him our thanks for his many years of dedication and help. I propose that we help him with his new tank upgrade by making a donation to the "Save Melev's Reef-A-Thon". Let's be honest, setting up a new tank is a huge financial burden. Marc is self-employed selling his amazing RO/DI units and hasn't exactly gotten rich off it Plus he lives in the freakin' middle of the U.S. where it costs an arm and a leg to ship anything.

    CLICK "DONATE" BUTTON BELOW
    Any dollar amount helps out. Many of you are too far away to offer help in person so here is another way of doing it. If you've wanted to help him out, drop a few bucks in this account via paypal and it will do the job for you








    Or just purchase something from Melev's Reef Shop. I've personally used all his products and can vouch for the quality. I LOVE the top down photo boxes and the RO/DI units are phenomenal.

      First donation complete Good luck my friend. Wish I could be there, getting stuck with bristle worms, breaking my back lifting the tank, and getting electrocuted with you as you set up your new tank adventure. See you at MACNA though!!

      I'm still trying to locate my damn returns, but as soon as they show up I'm snatching an RO/DI, so that should give him a few bucks towards the upgrade :-P

      Home Skillet would be slang for friend... buddy... interchangeable with broseph or my boy.

      All stereotyping aside... way to show your whiteness marc

      Every dollar helps. I do want to thank you all. To update, I'm still sending emails back and forth to get the tank ordered and want to make sure everything is correct before they begin to build it.

      Put in an order yesterday for an RO/DI and a TDS meter. Can't wait to finally get one, was buying ro water in Lawton for .25 a gallon but now that I am moved to OKC I think it will be nice to make my own.
