This is by far the best magazine available to reefkeeping hobbyists. I have read every issue released so far. The magazine explains techniques promoted by modern reef aquarists around the world, and especially from Europe.
Some of the techniques are very new and the methods are not always viable by many hobbyists who enter and exit out of frustration, but the magazine has a basic section for new aquarists.
The reason for 4/5 stars is that some of the claims made by paid advertisers are insulting to the readers intelligence.
CORAL Magazine is alive and well and has a new publisher.
New and former subscribers can contact us at Coral Magazine US dot com. (We are waiting for Amazon to change this page over to redirect subscriptions to the proper publisher.)
The new CORAL team includes many of the leading writers and photographers in the marine field: Julian Sprung, Scott Michael, Charles Delbeek, Daniel Knop, Anthony Calfo, Matt Wittenrich, Alf Jacob Nilsen, Svein Fossa, and many more.

Coral Magazine skips the basics and ignores the temptation to cater to a more casual crowd with every-other-issue features on tank cycling and the dangers of overfeeding. Instead, it features less general topics with a slightly more esoteric approach while remaining accessible to common hobbyists such as myself. Having spent innumerable hours scouring the web and nearly every forum available on marine aquaculture, I can confidently say one can find novel information and ideas in Coral Magazine that are rarely, if ever, discussed anywhere else. (See August/September 2007 issue discussing what the author calls "induced longitudinal fission" of ricordea for a great example.)
This magazine provides incredible photographs, well written articles, and insightful commentary. Any hobbyist who has spent more than a few hours reading through books or online forums in this subject should greatly appreciate Coral magazine.

WEll, I shouldn't say cover to cover, but I do read more of this that I do any other magazine. I at the most usually get a weeks worth of casual reading from a magazine, but this one I get about a month out of. Between this and TFH I always seem to have reading material. I do with this was a monthly production though!

I must admit that when I originally subscribed to Highlander I did it just for fun. However After a few Months I found myself meeting New poeple and understanding so much more about my heritage and Enjoyed going to Heritage events. The articles alone are worth the price of this magazine but there is soo much more such as event places and even a place I found that made my kilt! If your Scottish or of Scottish heritage this is a magazine you will never want to be without.
