While originally and currently published in Germany as Koralle magazine, CORAL the English version stands as the only magazine exclusive to the marine aquarium hobby currently being offered here in the U.S. With that said, CORAL is a great magazine that I would encourage novice, advanced, and expert marine hobbyists alike to get and enjoy. A better marine aquarium magazine doesn’t exist  … literally.

I read every issue of Coral Magazine from front to back, and this is one aquarium magazine that is a real keeper. Some of the articles can be a bit long, but the pictures are incredible and are printed on heavy paper. It's a magazine that everyone in the house has to browse.

You are really doing the best reef magazine I’ve ever seen.

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 average marine hobbyists. 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.

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 for many hobbyists who enter and exit out of frustration, but the magazine also has a basic section for new aquarists.

 

Great articles, great magazine. CORAL rules the table in our staff room!

CORAL is simply awesome, with outstanding photographs and up-to-the-minute
information. Truly a 10 out of 10.
