Would you use a coral reference database?

Here is the link: http://www.blueworldaquariums.com/blog/wiki/

If corals were included we would have to come up with a better suited name...
Aquarium Wiki?
Reef Wiki?
.......

Any thoughts?

It wouldn't be hard to add corals to this. I would be more than willing to listen to suggestions for encouraging people to contribute.

Snaz, as a store we can offer real rewards for contributions. However I am open to removing the association from the store if that's what would push it to be a real benefit to the hobby. I'm interested to hear your concerns in regards to the wiki being our property...maybe that's something we could address?

Not meaning to detract from the OP...that site looks nice.

You are a step ahead of me on this one . If you would like to add corals then all the power to you. I think people are mostly concerned with the ownership and the openness of the wiki.
For now I will host the wiki on my own connection so people can have a look. Please bare in mind that it wont be useful until YOU contribute.
Hopfully we can get a good database going whether its me or not.

I say continue on with what you're doing. Your site looks great, and realistically I don't have time to make a lot of changes to ours.

ReefDB can now be accessed at
http://75.154.85.104:5678

please add something if you have time as all of my time has been dedicated to getting this up.
Check back here just in case my ip changes and the site is not accessible.
If everyone likes it I will consider getting it hosted and it will be permanently live and free to use

Today I was going to register a d damain name, either "reefdb.com" or "reefdatabase.com" but to my surprise both of these names redirect to a porn website .Finding this out is quite annoying as you can imagine because even if I register a .ca domain it would take one mistake to end up somewhere you dont want to be.
This is why I need help, to chose a new domain name. Please give me some ideas and if I chose your idea you will be credited on the website.
Thanks!

It will be a community wiki right? Then choose something like:
reefwiki.com
wikireef.com
coralwiki.com
wikicoral.com
yourcoralwiki.com
