Description: Share your passion for reefkeeping - Learn - Buy/Sell - Win
Reason for Nomination:

I personally designed this site, I create all the graphics, and run the numerous contests. We have a great staff, terrific sponsors, and awesome members contributing content to make the site one of the hottest reef forums on the net.

The site's look and feel differs from forum to forum. Starting with the index page vbA portal, CR maintains the look and feel of a professional online publication. On CR, the article area take on the look of an online magazine...each with a unique postbit. There is a buy and selling area, also with a unique classified ad type look.

You'll also notice a customize navbar throughout the site. Through this menu, members can shortcut into the various ways to share their hobby with other members. One such way is the Drive Thru Online script, Showcase. Showcases have been implemented which allow members to share and explore, various reef setups, types of fish, and corals. With these showcases members can find the perfect fish for their particular setup. All content is supplied by other members. CR has also developed strategic relationships with other sites to provide tools for members to manage their reef tanks. Links to these can be found in the customized navbar.
