Re: The Official Asylum Reef Tank Thread
A computer fan that is 10-12" wide? Is it an array of fans 3-4 lined up, I have seen those around before. I haven't thought out the cooling yet, but I think that fans placed on top of the end caps...

Re: The Official Asylum Reef Tank Thread
Scott, if the tank is overwhelmed with algae due to neglect then it might be best to break it down completely and try to start fresh. I would try to sell the fish back to a local fish shop. ...

Re: Newbie recommendations
That is a damn fine haul! So many to sample, but those should keep you busy for some time.
You should check out the newbie trade thread also. I am almost ready to participate in it myself.

Re: What cigar did you smoke today IV?
Last night I had a La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor and a Padron maduro executive.
I didn't care much for the mi amor, but I thoroughly enjoyed the Padron. Each one I have had has been tasty.

Re: What's the last movie you watched?
Agree that Bridesmaids for $1 Redbox rental was well worth it for the laughs.
Also, watched Green Lantern last night (another redbox watch). I liked it and look forward to part 2.

Enjoyed a Perdomo Habano maduro in the backyard. My first of these and I enjoyed it. It hit me with a good punch near the end.
The band is a very nice touch.
