The king (CORAL Magazine) is dead. Long live the king.

Did everyone get their email from the new publishers? How many are going to say yes? Would you show support by getting a three year subscription, or be a little less daring?

Or will you subscribe to ReefLife by the old publishers?

Or subscribe to both?

I can sure explain it more, but not better. Anthony Calfo or Leng Sy could explain it much so better than me. This is sort of like if you head on the Ohio turnpike toward Pittsburgh, about the time you get near Youngstown, I 80 and I 76 cross over each other but I 80 is no longer the turnpike and I 76 suddenly becomes the turnpike. You have to get off the turnpike to stay on it. Like that.

CORAL Magazine is associated with Koralle, the German magazine about reef tanks and corals. The original publisher of CORAL decided to go it alone and publish a new magazine without German ties and translations of German articles, but CORAL will continue to be published by a new publisher.

The old magazine with a new publisher:

http://www.coralmagazineus.com/

The new magazine with the old publisher:
http://coralmagazine.com/

If you want back issues while they are still available, you can get them from the old publisher for now.

And if anyone wants a back issue of Anthony Calfo's C The Journal, the new publisher may have them.

And not to confuse any of this with Coral Magazine the emagazine at corals.org which has been around if anyone noticed (I didn't) for about twice as long as CORAL.

Let me correct that to "does have them." And autographed if you want.

Dear god, Im glad Im wicked A.D.D. or none of this would have made any sense...... lol

The basics as I understand is that Coral Magazine was produced by a publisher in Germany that worked with a publisher in the US. They decided not to work together anymore, so Coral Magazine is still available, through the German Publisher, and now you can order Reeflife (the US end of Coral magazine) which I think will be similar to Coral Magazine, but with some new features.
So now there will be 2 magazines to look forward to each month!

It's still a free enterprise system for another few months so you can get them either way you choose. The links for subscriptions are up a few posts from here. Pet shops might be more likely to carry them than all but very large bookstores.

I received my copy of the January/February 2009 issue of Coral magazine yesterday. It is now being published in the U.S. by James Lawrence. Daniel Knop is still the International Editor. Anthony Calfo is the Associate Publisher as well as one of the seven Contributing Editors.

This is the issue that was supposed to be published by Eco System Aquarium in December as the December/January issue. It's very nice, just like it has always been.

I still haven't received a refund from Eco System Aquarium for the full year's subscription renewal that they owe me. I had just called them in October to renew. I have been a subscriber since the very beginning. I sent them another email today -- my fourth in the last seven weeks -- asking them why I haven't received the refund I requested but so far they have not replied to any of my emails.

They sent out that unsigned letter the beginning of December advising us that they had severed their relationship with Koralle and that they were in the "process of designing" a new magazine that they hoped would be ready for publication sometime this spring. Maybe.

I only found out by accident that Coral was still being published in an American edition but by a new publisher. I happened to come across that information is a thread on one of the boards.
