I browse a few reefing forums daily, always finding a few usernames that stand out and wonder where do people come up with them. Some are pretty straight forward and easy to figure out, some are simply names and others a just downright odd.

Melev, again fairly straight forward but I always wonder, " why the E instead of an A?".
Blown76mav, I can relate to because a "71" ...

In the end he offered to trade my very favorite ultra wide angle lens for the tank ...

This is a small room that has some terrible carpet and just plain pain walls. She has already ripped the carpet up and discovered what we though, nice wood floor that matches the hallway, although a little beaten up and scratched(I will sand it another time). She has already painted one coat on the room after filling all the minor holes in the wall and dents. ...
