UltraMarine Magazine Jun/Jul 2017 Back Issue

Greetings to you, Ultramarine reader!

Well here we are again, and firstly I’d like to extend my thanks to everyone who has written in recently, be it with messages of support for the magazine, or interesting questions and suggestions to keep both myself and the contributing team on our toes! Such questions often remind me that our reef-keeping community here in the UK is actually a pretty diverse bunch, perhaps more so than one may initially assume. On this subject, be sure to check out Mike Paletta’s piece in this issue which really is an interesting read, discussing this diversity not just within the UK community but right across the Atlantic Ocean!

Personally, my own world also looks set to get a little more diverse in the coming months as I am taking a more active role in both the design and digital sides of the magazine. You may have noticed an uptick in activity on the Facebook page recently and the Ultramarine website should also see some changes in the coming months. Keep your eyes on the various sites as there is some cracking material to come in the not too distant future. You can be sure that I’ll be reading my own copy of the mag rather nervously for a few issues as I’m still getting to grips with the software. I’d like to say a big ‘Thanks!’ to Bob for holding my hand (yet again!) and helping me to get familiar with the various processes involved in making each new issue of UM a reality.

As ever, I hope you continue to support the magazine whatever the format, and keep it as a treasured part of your reef-keeping routine as we approach UM’s 10 year anniversary later this year!

John Clipperton, Editor
