Recommend good reef magazine?

I was just curious if anyone could recommend a good reef keeping magazine that would be worth getting a subscription to. I've found a few out there, but wanted some opinions. Reef magazines are kind of rare on the news stands so I can't just go out a pick up a couple issues.

TIA

I like Coral Magazine. At times lately, it seems a bit hokie, but for the most part it has a good bit of indepth information. My biggest issue is that they get different writers (but the same writers almost every magazine) to write about the same topic and sometimes they contradict...

Coral........I don't allways agree with what is written but that's reefkeeping. Overall a very good magazine IMO. I have let my subscription slip lately just because I don't have time to read it when I'm in school.

great question. i have been meaning to ask this myself. My wife picked up last week Marine Fish and Reef USA 2006. It was a great read only bad thing is its only an annual magazine.

Yup. It has some challenging to read articles from time to time(compared to other lower level, repetitive mags).

The Marine fish and Reef annuals are usually good. I started out with a couple of those

After a while those go over the same old things though. That's why I like Coral. Different articles, and like Gary stated, the articles are typically more advanced.
