Here's the lineup for this month:
Editorial: July 2008 - Warning: An Electrical Fire
By Terry Siegel
If no one were home the house could well have burnt down.
Feature Article: Metal Halide Lamps - Aging Over Time: XM, EVC and Giesmann Coral 400W Mogul Lamps
By Sanjay Joshi
The study presented some very interesting data on the life of metal halide lamps. It reinforced the view that the spectral qualities change over time resulting in the change of the CCT of the lamps to lower values.
Feature Article: Coral Reproduction, Part One: A Natural Coral Spawning in Hawai'i, The Cauliflower Coral (Pocillopora meandrina)
By Dana Riddle
Witnessing a coral spawning, especially in the daytime, is an unusual and memorable event. We have much to learn about coral reproduction.
Reefkeeping Events: What's Happening in Your Area?
By Advanced Aquarist Readers
Check to see if an event is happening in your area!
Lateral Lines: Finch Shutoff Relay
By Adam Blundell M.S.
The Finch Shutoff Relay is a great electrical invention. This item will undoubtedly prevent many overflows (it has saved me already).
Online Courses: Aquarium Photography
By D. Wade Lehmann
Marine Aquarist Courses Online (MACO) is proud to offer, starting this fall, a two-stage course for aquarium photography.
Product Review: Kill-A-Watt Electricity Meter And Suggestions to Reduce Power Consumption
By Dana Riddle
This power-shaving game can get rather addictive once we're motivated by seeing our power utility bill drop month-by-month.
Reefs In The News
Media coverage of the state of our world's reefs, interesting information, and other marine-related news.
RSS feed available.
As always, please let us know if there is a specific article or area that you would like to see covered by Advanced Aquarist's large staff of aquarium hobby experts. Please post any suggestions you might have for the magazine in our Editorial Discussion Forum: http://reefs.org/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=38
