I purposefully crafted the cheesy post title to avoid saying the word "blogosphere", but that is in fact what it is: a surprisingly tight knit (some might say slightly inbred, given the redundancy of post material) community of aquarium bloggers has been formed in the past year. I find it a refreshing alternative to cruising the popular aquarium forums, which are rife with repetitive question threads. There is much to be found and learned in the forums, but my patience for parsing through the rest of it has run a bit thin now that I've established a general basis of reef keeping knowledge.
Here is a run down of the blogs I'm currently subscribed to. Feel free to post more, or yours, in the comments and I'll add it in. Also, as my own little blog has finally established some staying power, I've begun work on a custom designed template for it (finally!). The visual is progressing well, but as usual I will get hung up on the code, so no promised ETA for now.
Aquarium blogs I'm currently subscribed to:
www.aquadaily.com
Good general purpose aquarium blog, with information for fresh and saltwater enthusiasts.
www.pacificeastaquaculture.com
Blog for a coral importer and retailer that I have not yet ordered from. Great behind the scenes posts about the retail facility and importing operations.
www.aquatic-eden.com
Planted tank specific, featuring "aquascapes of the week" which are great eyecandy. Makes me miss having a planted tank!
www.glassbox-design.com
A great blog, with both industry coverage and personal insight logging the progress of a very beautiful tank. The design and modernist slant is personally appealing as well.
www.advancedaquarist.com
Excellent and professional articles updated monthly. Great source of information for the reefer.
designandreef.blogspot.com
Similar to the Glass Box, great documentary blog of a design orientated reefer and his nano tank construction, along with various posts relating to design and aquariums.
blog.reefiris.com
A blog from Keith updating the progress of his development for Reef Iris, a very promising website project that allows people to funnel their internet-capable controller information and other tank information into a community site. I think this will become a great alternative to forum build threads as it progresses.
www.reefbuilders.com
The ultimate blog for industry news and product information.
blog.marinedepot.com
Official blog of Marine Depot, a high quality online store for reef products.
www.oceanathome.com
Another good hobbyist blog with a range of aquarium information.
blog.fragd.it
As a web geek, I love a creative URL. As an aquarium fan, I love a useful blog. Fragd.it is both.
