Reefs Magazine Fall issue is LIVE!

[prattreef]

Hey everyone, the new issue of Reefs Magazine is now live.
https://www.reefs.com/magazine/
Lots of terrific new material for all areas of interest.
Lemon Tyk and Joe Fish Rowlett fill the feature slot with a novel taxonomic exploration of the elegant Roaops subgenera of Chaetodon butterflyfish. For the equipment geeks among you, Dana Riddle reports on his testing and hands on experience with the innovative Maxspect XF-130 Gyre Generator. First time contributor, coral biologist John Parkinson, explores coral gardening on a grand scale ? as part of real world coral reef restoration and conservation efforts. A great and important read for all of us. Todd Gardner continues to document his seminal work on collecting tropical strays in the waters off Long Island, this time examining the Serranids of NY and Joe Rowlett continues the innovative work he has been doing in the area of fish taxonomy with an introduction to some of my favorite fishes ? the swallowtail angels of the genus Genicanthus. Finally, James W Fatherree examines the beautiful Seriatopora bird?s nest corals and explains why they make such great additions to well maintained reef aquariums.
Finally, in honor of my friend and mentor Terry Siegel being honored with the Aquarist of the Year Award at MACNA, we?ve decided to re-run an interview I did with him back in 2009. A must read for anyone interested in the history of our hobby. His career is really the ultimate Fish Tale.
Enjoy!

Randy, thanks for sharing the great article and writeup on Terry Siegel. It brings back memories... I learned of the Berlin Method from being a member of the Brooklyn Aquarium Society from listening to a presentation when Julian went there years ago. Most every well know hobbyist was using this method and I've witnessed several beautiful reef tanks visiting successful hobbyist in their homes in NYC. Terry had a 135, 150 and 220 gallon tanks hooked up with a big sump in his basement. I remember he was using a huge ETS Skimmer. Saw his tanks on two seperating occasions with the 25 year old clown fish on both visits. Hope he is well.

For some reason Swallow angel fish article doesn't open. Anybody else having trouble?

I am having trouble with it also keeps wanting me to log in and still doesn't open. The Terry Seigel article is very good though and opens fine.

Thanks Carlos, I remember those days well. Terry is also doing well enjoying his retirement on Cape Cod. Setting up a new 500g. too I believe

Apologies on the Genicanthus article, we are experiencing some technical difficulties posting an updated version. We should have it sorted out by tomorrow, so please check back. And thanks for reading!!!

Wow, another 500 gallon tank, that's an idea. I would need to have the glass shipped in pieces and then built on site. Just too heavy to move when it's built.

Genicanthus article should be fixed now. Enjoy!
