Hey, could anyone recommend a good, marine/reef magazine worth subscribing to?

Thank you,

freshprincess

Yes, and it's free of charge

Best reading on reefs...

Totally agree. Free is always the best price.

Not only that, but they are archived and you can read the every issue back to Feb 2002. Thats 59 free magazines!

I purchase pretty much all the mags from the LFS and petsmart, in all honesty, there isn't a single one that I would want to subscribe to. There so many advertisments and ect ect. in each one that I just rummage through em at the store until I find one with an article that does appeal to me. (few and far between)

Its tough. Coral is a good journal/magazine. I believe it comes out either quarterly or bi-monthly.

As far as off the rack magazines, FAMA isn't too bad. Most are loaded down with ads and freshwater stuff. Not bad if you are into FW, which unfortunately I am not. I travel a lot so I like to have them in my briefcase to read on the plane, etc.

I like Tropical Fish Hobbyist. But the downside to that is that they also have Freshwater articles. Like said, not bad if you have FW aquariums. I dislike AFM...way too beginner and juvenile. FAMA is alright...but still doesn't really show interesting articles like I believe TFH does.
