The Journal by Anthony Calfo
 

Anyone read this mag yet? How does it compare to the other hobby magazines out there?

i have, i wasnt thrilled. for the price of the magazine there was not alot of useful information. it was like a discovery channel in magazine. in my opinion coral magazine is alot better and way more useful. but that is me, i have alot of respect for anthony and what he has done for the industry but i will not get another magazine.

Props to Calfo but this magazine is pompous. Im not sure who the intended market is but it isn't reef keeping hobbiests. Anyone want to buy a used copy?

Ditto. It wasn't what I expected/hoped for at all. I think I'll stick with Coral Magazine.

Crumb.. I bought it but haven't had a chance to read it yet.
Now Im not looking forward to it so much.. :sad:

Me too, I ordered it just before I made this thread. :bad-word:

Well its probably a good thing that you don't have such high expectations now. Maybe you'll like it better :wink:

If you like reading advertisements, this mag is for you! :D

Well I got my issue in the mail a couple of days ago and I have to say its not as bad as I expected. Even though I haven't got through the whole thing the LED and anemone farm articles are pretty good. The amount of advertisements is no more than coral magazine. I think this mag has some potential it just has to go in more of a aquarium based direction, although I do enjoy reading about trips to exotic locations that I will never make it to. In the end I have to say I will be ordering another issue. Coral magazine coming every 2 months just doesn't cut it.:mrgreen:
