Coral magazine now available at your local retailers!
 


For those of you that have not had a chance to read Coral magazine yet, it is quite simply THE BEST magazine about reef tanks out there by a long shot!


The quality of the articles in Coral magazine are more like book quality articles and not those crazy out of date books that we have in this hobby, but a cutting edge type book that is as up to date as you possible can be with each and every issue!


Recent articles in Coral Magazine have been excellent subjects such as carbon source dosing (sugar, vodka, zeolite, bacteria), feeding and maintaining azoox tanks, improving coral coloration with trace elements and many, many more excellent articles


I personally liked Coral magazine so much that I ordered a whole pile of back issues for my own personal collection.


And now you can pick up this amazing magazine directly from your lfs and for a similar price as a subscription in Canada!


$7.99
Available at your LFS!!


Attention retailers, coral magazine will start to ship out next week.
Magazines can be added to your livestock orders in the top of boxes as well as to your dry goods orders so that you can always stay stock in this fantastic magazine.

There is something seriously wrong when you can buy a mag off the shelf and it's less expensive than having a subscription.

Nice magazine though. Certainly not 'light reading' and not a beginners thing, IMO but the photography is worth the price of admission alone.

Nevermind, sorry I dont want to hurt your sales.

So it's now 7.99 retail in Canada? Please clarify.

Reef Wholesale Dealers will be able to offer Coral Magazine going forward at at the rate of $7.99 CAD.
This could change depending on the strength of the dollar in the future.

As for the subscription prices, they are higher than the rate RW dealers will be able to offer them because, to date, subscriptions had to ship from the US which added alot onto the cost.
We are excited to be able to help make Coral Magazine more affordable and available throughout Canada.

Our first order of the March/April Magazine will be available as Patrick mentioned for shipping to dealers at the beginning of next week.

Wtf?? I pay for that subscription! Should I cancel? That's annoying. I do agree it is the best reefkeeping magazine in North America, but now I feel like I'm getting ripped off.

It is cheaper, but just barely.
I wouldn't cancel your subscription, but if you are close to an RW dealer it might make sense to not re-new the order and just pick it up at your local dealer next year.

I believe a subscription costs you $8.12/magazine comparitively.


Myka 04-13-2011 04:47 AM

I did the math already. It's the advertising you chose though. I hope to see lowered subscriptions in the future.

Madreefer 04-13-2011 05:32 AM

I was just talking about this with a freind a week ago. I too have a subscription but I dont pay for it. How? I dont know. It just comes. I edited a post earlier but someone has since posted that there is a free app for iphones and ipad users.

I would.. as soon as you find someplace that carries it. subscriptions of normal mags are normaly 1/2 to 2/3s the shelf rate.

Now I do feel ripped off!!
I think that these mag are closer to $10.00CAD than $8+ subscribed.

I put in a subscription for three years to get closer to $7.00/mag, but that's due to the CAD strength. And they usually arrive later than what the lfs can get it, too.

Anyone living close to a lfs who carries it should set up a subscription contract with the lfs instead. Have the lfs put it aside for you as they come in.

But I do agree that it is a mag that's the best out there.

Same here Madreefer. I did not subscribe but I just received my second issue this year. It seemed to coincide with the same time I received my PADI advanced dive card but that could just be coincidence.

They are $7 each with a subscription. 7/$49 or 13/$91. But ya they do arrive later than in the stores.
