There are a couple on-line magazines: Advanced Aquarist Magazine Online and Reef Keeping Online Magazine. For print magazines FAMA and Aquarium Fish are popular and cover both freshwater and saltwater. And for good but dated information online there is Aquarium Frontiers.

FAMA---that is what I was talking about. Thanks Cathbad .

I'm suscribed to FAMA (freshwater and marine aquarium), Aquarium Fish magazine, and Marine and Reef (Annual).

Click on image to order.

FAMA Magazine

Most of these can be found in a LFS of a Larger Book Store or Magazine shop.
The only magazine that I would caution you about would be Marine and Reef (annual). Their information can be suspect sometimes. On page 110, of their 2003 issue, it clearly states:
"Yellow Colonial Polyps (Parazoanthus aximellae) do not house have zooxanthellae and reproduce readily in captivity." Now, per Eric Borneman, no one is collecting reef zoanthids from the Baltic Sea and Mediterranean, which happen to be non photosynthic. With that said, the Polyps that we get in the trade happen to have zooxanthellae. That's one of many mistakes in the magazine.

Graham, can you rate the percentage of saltwater coverage in FAMA as oppose to freshwater? Thanks.

Usually there's as much saltwater as there is freshwater, although most of the time there seems to be more freshwater coverage than saltwater. Aquarium Fish magazine will usually have the same amount of freshwater articles as saltwater articles, although sometimes there will be more freshwater coverage than marine/reef coverage (and vice versa).

Graham if you were only going to get one which one would it be??

The scary thing about these magazines is that it always seems to be opinion instead of fact. Of course so is this site and its the cat's meow. Great places for eye candy though. A great book that I am reading is Sprung's and Mr D's Reef Aquarium Volume One. Great stuff!!
