Tuan right? Thanks and yeah, you met us at CFM at Jimmy's booth. Thanks for stopping by, still need to get up there and see Jimmy's tank and bins :lol2:

Good memory - off by one letter - it's Toan (tone). I havent stop by Jimmy's place in awhile and he's only 10 minutes away.

Sorry man, in my head I said it right but spelling is not my strong suit...I'm a numbers guy. Anyway, I always see the nice stuff that you're selling maybe when I get off my lazy a$$ and go see Jimmy I can arrange to swing by. I'd love to see a FTS of your set-up(s) sometime.

I am a numbers guy too since I am asian.

You're welcome to stop by anytime you are in the area. I started a build thread with some photos but got lazy and havent updated it in awhile - I'll send you a link with I find it.

I only have one tank - looking for a bigger tank that is why I have been browsing the large tank forum for some ideas. But wifey said I cant get a bigger tank until after we buy our house.

Toan do you have the Vivid enchino or Pink Boobies and can you post a picture? A theory that we are working on...:lmao:

Story of most of us married guys...wifey brining the hammer down :hammer: :lolspin:

I have three vivids ranging from 3 - 10 eyes and one pink boobies (only one eye) lineage to the sd guys. There is really no difference that I can tell, but maybe when it gets bigger it's easier to compare. I'll take pictures next time I have my camera out.

Here is a picture of my buddy's vivid encino straight from vivid aquarium. It looks amazing as a real colony that consist of more than a few eyes.

Cool man

LOL - and we just got married 6 weeks ago...My tank does take up most of the living room right now. She wants me to move it to the garage in the future, but I prefer to have it in the house.

Dan that looks like my colony of vivid :lol:

BTW, Go Giants!!!

:sad1: I was bracing myself for either you or TBone to post something. We've got a big 4 game series coming up that could put us back in or maybe end the season. I can't believe that you guys didn't do anything at the deadline. While bringing up Posey and Bumgarner is like adding their current pace is unsustainable. You guys really need another bat, perhaps by the Aug deadline. I think SDs addition of Ludwig will turn out to be big for them...if their pitching can hold up.

 

[DanW]

Thanks for the photo Toan...is your friend that own's the vivid also asian? That would kill our theory :lmao:

 

[s2k]

Yup - he's asian. What's your theory?

Whats all this talk of Giants and no offense...Who led the majors in runs in July? Not the Yankees, not the Rangers, Not the pads nor dodgers, but the Giants. Who would of thought

As for no bats at the deadline, I'm happy that we got through a week without a lefty in the bp and Wilson was unavailable until yesterday. We even picked up two more relievers to help shorten the game even more. Maybe the media is different down there, but that last I checked, Tejada and Ludwick are not the best defensively and for a team that relies on defense and pitching, I'm still not sold that the deals the pads made made them that much better. Big bats are always nice, but they aren't the end all be all in the NL.

I will be very surprised if the Giants do not pick up someone off the waiver wire with a decent sized contract for the stretch run.

 

[DanW]

...Mark it's the Vivid...funny though the eyes don't open up much, it kinda squints. Any idea why? Seems happy.

It's an Asian thing...........

:lol:

Someone walked right into that one! :hmm4:

Yup - he's asian. What's your theory?

Ahh, just playing around... the "banter" (as Mark calls it) was also continued in Kenny's thread about his Vivid or Pink Boobies piece that also has small eyes. (FYI Kenny (Pookstreet) & Brian (Dejavu) are also asian)

Yeah, who would've thought? I still think that the Pads acquitions are really going to help them, prior to the trades other than Gonzales there was no one else in their line up to fear. I'm still not convinced with thier pitching except for Latos and maybe Richard but they keep proving me wrong every outing. I think you guys shoulda made a move for Hart or Fielder.

Happy Friday y'all :dance:
