Great magazine good app

Love the informative magazine and app. My only wish that the app would allow screen rotation since my iPad is docked to Apple Keyboard in landscape position.

Best Aquarium magazine by far!

Tons of stuff every month on a variety of topics. I find myself reading nearly the whole magazine every month. Online aquarium forums are all over the map as far as advice is concerned and it really is nice to have professional aquarist sorting through all the conflicting opinions.
