Recommendations for reefer magazines (not that kind of reefer!)

Hey all.

My AWESOME wife wants to get me a subscription to a marine/reef/aquarium magazine for Christmas. But i have no idea which is the best one.

What recommendations do you all have for a really good magazine that will offer specific advice for reef / marine tanks, the hobby in general, and so on? Are there many to choose from? What's the best?

Thanks in advance,
Tom

My favorite is "Coral", though it's a bit on the expensive side. All of the others that I know of are fresh/salt/pond combo magazines. FAMA, "Freshwater and Marine Aquarist" is next in line.

Coral is a little too expensive for me =) But I must admit though, they are excellent magazines, and each issue is a well of information! I think I'll stick with TFH

TFH is Tropical Fish Hobbyist. Great Magazine. The only problem is that its only about 30% SW and rest is FW. Otherwise its a great mag.

Thanks guys.

Any other suggestions out there? (coughbumpcough)

And about how much does "Coral" cost, anyway?

Coral is $40 for 6 issues. Go to coralmagazine.com to check it out. Another thread on here last week mentioned a couple of local stores that carry it.
