How do I get this issue about cold water marine aquatics
We’ve actually published multiple articles that cover topics relating to coldwater marine aquariums, and more than one feature topic.
You can buy this issue as a printed back issue at https://www.aquaticmediapress.com/shop/coral-magazine-back-issues/coral-january-february-2025-rock-your-reef/
In addition, it is also readable in the digital edition archives, which are accessible with ANY active CORAL Magazine subscription, whether PRINT or digital-only. The archives currently include any issue going back as early as 2015.
Earlier issues are only available as printed back issues, provided they are still available. The one that immediately comes to mind as a must-have for a coldwater-interested aquarist is this one – COLD REEFS – May/June 2014 – https://www.aquaticmediapress.com/shop/coral-magazine-back-issues/coral-may-jun-2014-cold-reefs/
Kenneth Wingerter even has published a book on the subject, so that would be worth looking for as well.
