TV Show Tanked Not All It's Cracked Up To Be

A TV reality show based in Las Vegas named Tank is a show about some guys who build custom fish tanks.  Because of their unique fish tanks, they were able to land a TV show on the animal Planet named Tanked.
Well, apparently some of their tanks just didn't do so well after the cameras were turned off.
From the Las Vegas Adviser (a web site that is al about Las Vegas and contains some very good information about Vegas): One of the episodes showed a gumball aquarium that was supposed to be on the outside verandah at Caesars' Serendipity ice cream parlor....
 The tank, which apparently dispensed real gumballs, was more than 250 gallons, carried 50 fish of assorted varieties, and was more than 8 feet tall. As it was outside on the verandah, a custom cooling mechanism was incorporated into the design in an attempt to keep the fish at a healthy temperature, but from what we gleaned from some aquatic forums we visited, it didn't work properly, all the fish apparently died within four days, and the tank had to be dismantled.....
Another accusation leveled at the show's stars is that they do not acclimate the fish to their new environment, nor cycle the water through repeatedly as you're meant to when a new tank is being established, as evinced by the superclean sand and water when the final "reveals" are done, and a lack of algae that would be the norm in a new tank environment.
A tank built in the style and to the exact dimensions of a phone booth, commissioned for a private residence in Las Vegas, also proved to have inherent problems. It's currently for sale on eBay, but is being stored at a business in North Las Vegas called Blue Reef Aquatics. A very helpful staff member we spoke with there confirmed our suspicions that the piece has issues, describing it as "temperamental." The vertical orientation would require significant and costly modification to the filtration system to get enough oxygen into the water to support saltwater fish, we were told, so it's currently home to some goldfish. (With a $5,000 price tag, that's got to make it one of the most expensive goldfish bowls in the world.) Apparently, the previous owners, who relocated back to New York, had the filter running through a hole in their garage wall and the necessary water-cooling in the Las Vegas heat was adding $300-$400 per month to their electric bill. Ouch.

Last week, they had a fish tank built for KISS at their new Monster mini-golf  at Harmon and Koval. http://monsterminigolf.com/kiss/
The Tanked guys built a tank and then placed speakers next to the fish tank, along with flashing lights.  Now, I used have fish- salt water and fresh, and I would think that the loud music and flashing lights just would not be very good for fish.  So, I think I might pay a visit to the KISS Mini golf and see how the fish are doing, but at $11.95 for a half hour, it may be awhile.

  1. This is Phillip Dominguez a representative of Acrylic Tank Manufacturing. We love criticism because it helps us to build a better product. What we don't like is when people attempt to inform the public of information lacking facts...

    Let me begin with my favorite part of the blog.... "Now, I used have fish- salt water and fresh, and I would think that the loud music and flashing lights just would not be very good for fish." Apparently the education you earned which does not allow you to pay $11.95 for half an hour of mini golf can be explained by your high-end gramatical craftsmanship. Secondly, if you would do your due diligence you would find that the "speaker" system around the Kiss Tank is a faux look and there are NO speakers around the tank.

    The client that owned the Phone booth tank had a heart attack and moved back to the east coast. And as far as his 300-400 dollar increase in power bills per month??? You clearly stated the mechanicals were in the garage. That residence did not have a temperature controlled garage??? Next...

    We were told it was removed due to the outside structure and a conflict between Serendipity and Caesers.

    This was fun. Please attempt to get the facts before you blog next time...

    This just in, "Dan" infamous blogger lerans to report... Tanks for listening..

    2. If you go on their website it clearly states under maintenance what to do and that the water and so forth is prepared weeks in advance they clearly know what they are doing hence they are still doing it and they are #1 in the country BTW their tanks are expensive around a half a million but like I always say anything worth having is worth paying for quality has a cost :)

    3. Melisa is that why we saw them using the tap water from a casino to fill the Mob theme tank? They prepared it well in advance so that they could pull it from the tap of the casino?? OOPS its too hot... Lets throw some ice machine ice from different floors of the hotel into the tank..

      Come on now... Half a million for a tank? Wheres that stat come from?? Pull your head out.

    4. Its a tv show. You have to add the danger or last minute decision to make it seem like they pulled it off at the end with a minite to spare. I have a feeling most the problems they come across are made up for tv. Filling the tank with tap was another issue they maybe made up. Also its only an hour show for two tanks. They have to leave out the dull parts and water treatment is dull

      Delete
    5. There was an episode where the Tanked guys put several Bala Sharks, along with a red tailed shark and some guppies in a 8 gallon tank for a kid modified from an old television. Bala sharks routinely grow to over a foot long and red tailed sharks grow to 6 inches long. Since you responded so aggressively to this blog, I'm sure you also have an adequate answer for why two fish experts put readily common aquarium fish in a tank WAY too small simply because the fish had the work "shark" in their names. Thanks.

    6. Phillip I love to watch the show and think that you guys make some of the most amazing tanks, but your insulting response to this blog is completely unprofessional! "Apparently the education you earned which does not allow you to pay $11.95 for half an hour of mini golf can be explained by your high-end gramatical craftsmanship." I wonder what Wade and Brett would think of this unprofessional response. This sheds a very bad light on the staff of ATM. I hope all "representatives" are not this rude!

    7. That's actually a pretty typical ATM response - some of the worst attitudes and customer service in the business. If you want an overpriced, poorly built fish death trap, they're the ones to call.

    8. KAI don't understand why people are getting so mad at the comments that are trying to inform people that what they see on the show is not the way a tank should be set up. I'm pretty sure the guys on the show know that what is shown on T.V. Is not even close to how a tank should be set up. We only see a fraction of the time they spend on setting up a tank, and I'm sure that they have to follow a script. I've had my reef tank set up for a little over 7 years now and have set up numerous tanks for people and trust me when I say that every animal in your tank would live a week or two at most if you set up a tank the way they do on the show. I'm not saying these guys don't know what they are doing, I just think they really need to give a warning in the beginning of the show to advise people that there is a lot more to setting up a tank then what they see on the show and have a a list of the proper steps that should be taken on their website and tell people to read it and learn as much as they can before attempting to set up a reef tank. I personally think they make some amazing tanks, but I've had a good number of customers who's tank I had to fix because they saw the show and decided they wanted a tank and set it up based on what they saw on the show.i don't think they're intentionally being careless, but they do need to realize people are going to watch the show and assume that what they see is how its done. I understand that this show is meant for entertainment but a show can be entertaining and educational at the same time. Again, I don't think they are bad guys I just don't think they realize that they are unintentionally giving people the wrong idea about how to set up a tank. So if anyone from ATM reads this, having a show like this means it is your responsibility to educate as we'll as entertain or at least explain at the end of each episode that there are a lot of steps to setting up a tank that are not shown on tv. Again I do think they make some amazing tanks and I truly hope that what is shown isn't their actual way of setting up a tank, cycling a tank and acclimating fish.

    9. You should be arrested for animal cruelty. Putting half a dozen red-capped goldfish in a five gallon baby bottle tank. What is wrong with you guys? I've seen nothing but slips and bad fish choices on this show. The tanks look awesome, yeah, but they torture the animals to death. You realize those ORANDA red-capped goldfish get more than a foot long, right? What in the hell makes you think a five gallon can hold even one, let alone 5+? Nice job guys, teach that baby about death good and early!

      Delete
    10. I'd also like to know where this "Water control" was people keep pointing out when in the episode for the octopus tank and baby bottle goldfish...we clearly see them in the shower filling it up with tap water.

      You'd get much higher marks, and probably a lot more business from people who actually KNOW fish, if you took the time to get proper types for the tanks built, and made sure the size can handle them and their bioloads. This show is just more filth who care more for "Decorations" than the animals, it really should be illegal. Were it puppies you'd be arrested, I don't know why fish get discounted as living things from the animal cruelty laws.

    11. Holy macaroni dave a...anyone who doesn't have enough sense to research, study and practice proper tank set up before doing just that, rather use a non educational TV show to do so are Completely 100% responsible for being the idiots they are. Unfortunately the untimely deaths of a marine life of these people is on them and no one at tanked.

      I agree the response from the ATM staff member above was unprofessional. Fortunately for them the average idiots ranting on such forums who can't afford 12$ for goofy golf or its equivalent won't likely be a client they have to much worry about given the price range and rich customer base they cater to.

      As for the rest of you, I just can't believe there are people gullible enough to believe what you see is what you get in reality TV. It seems to me someone dropped the bag of idiots on this forum and they all fell out. Holy tank batman, CLOSE THE LID!

    15. You people are so stupid. I would rip on someone who just posted a on comment about my company saying things they have no clue what they are talking about. All of yall.have no clue what you are talking about. When they set these tanks up you don't see everything they do its a longer process then what you see. As for the fish getting to certain sizes you say the tanks are to small. No they are not the fish only grow depending on size of tank if they are n a smaller tank they won't grow to normal size. You move to bigger tank then they will grow more. You all need to research the truth be for posting and looking stupid. Using tap water for fresh water is perfectly fine. What they don't show on the show is the chemicals and water treatment that is put in the water to get all the chemistry right after you do all the water treatment it's fish safe. They do everything right. If they didn't they wouldn't still be getting millionaire clients wanting tanks. If they did have bad tanks it would be all over the web. Yeah they may have had a few set backs on things as many tanks as they build. There will be problems down the road some were. Bit it gets fixed. Please people research truth be for u post rly stupid stuff and look dumb. Wade and Brett you guys are awesome and build the most amazing tanks I have every seen. I'm not a rich guy I can't afford things. I use to have a tank when I was younger with Oscars and parranahs I loved it. I would love a salt water tank. It would be awesome to be able to come to vegas and tour your shop. I would love to get in contact with Brett if anyone from atm sees this plz have him contact me if it's no trouble.

    17. To Travis, you say you have millionaires wanting fish tanks from your store....
      How many of these millionaires just want to appear on TV? Get their 15 minutes of fame or get back some their fame?
      If I had the money, and I don't, I would not want to be filmed. If you product is so great, why need TV to promote yourselves? You would think, without TV, you would still do a booming business, but I doubt that. You moved into a large warehouse in Vegas because of the show, not because you are good.

    18. I am not sure how many people you will win over when you start out your rebuttal with an attack on the guy's grammar and education. That's not a very professional approach and reflects badly on ATM.

      Delete
    19. Phillip, I can’t believe your lack of professionalism! Perhaps you should use some of the money that you’re making to take rudimentary grammar and etiquette classes. You’re literally making fun of someone’s grammar when your own is full of errors. Please learn how to use commas, compose grammatically correct sentences, and proofread.

      I love how Animal Planet uses animals for profit. It’s oxymoronic to say the least. If this show illustrated dogs being shoved into tiny cages rather than fish being shoved into tiny tanks, it would have been shut down years ago. Blame it on whatever type of “malfunction” or “setup” you want to, but the point is that fish are dying because people can’t replicate their natural habitats.

      Captivity kills.

    20. ATM please continue your blasting responses to the interweb ignorants. Nothing is more inappropriate/ignorant than waking up and anonymously assault anything available. Keep up the good work on your edited TV show. We know who they are.

      Delete
    21. The level of ignorance being spewed on here is mind blowing. Please understand that the TV show portrays roughly 40 minutes of a process that takes a large group of people & weeks/months of work to brainstorm extremely crucial information such as size, weight, acrylic thickness, etc, assemble, perform integrity test, create custom inserts by hand, paint, install the tank, ensure that all of the plumbing is PERFECT, fill, water test, chemically dose, water test again, then again until you have it to a science, acclimate fish/live coral, & reveal.

      Please also understand that most of the things portrayed on the show are being done specifically for TV & doesn't even closely resemble what actually occurs. So those who assume that watching 40 minutes of a reality TV show suddenly makes them experts in that field, for the love of God PLEASE don't ever watch TV shows related to the medical field because the last thing we need is a bunch of self proclaimed & world renowned neurosurgeons because they caught 2 episodes of how it's done on TV.

      The show does exactly what it is intended for, it entertains & shows the unbelievable creativity of being the #1 aquarium builder in the world.

  2. i want to know how much it is to get a fish tank on tanked because i want one!

    ReplyDelete
  3. I love watching the amazing projects they produce but am smart enough to know they are more about making as much $$$as they can as fast as they can. I dont see any real pride in what they do or sense of TLC. Just pump them out and grab as much cash as fast as you can looks to be what they do catering only to the ultra rich. Thats the difference between a true craftsman and an entrepreneur.

    1. Unbelievably true its a way to get rich and fast. A disabled vet or any common person couldnt afford a Tank made by these people.
      The only person who takes pride in his work is Redneck he takes pride in what he does.Redneck seems too spend a lot of time there. I have done my research quite well.
      This is there 4th place of business.
      That phillip dude works with them and moved into the newest building with them. Just waiting for another fall out wheres phillips tank that was made for his office building?
      You cant say nothing bad about them whether its true or not or it will be deleted.
      ATM had a Acrylic Furniture Store.
      If you watched animal pIanets bios you people would know that redneck has a family in colorado why are they there for the past 5 years..
      Maybe he aint mister nice guy maybe a .......
      There was a huge family brawl on face book with his family research people research if you want to spout off look into it all the way. Rednecks son has been seen in the shows.

    2. Wow, what a surprise, people making one-off custom designed high end aquariums aren't pricing them so the average person could afford said high-end tanks. Gee what a F*CKING amazing thought! Here's another, how many disabled vets or common people can afford a one of a kind custom car, or house, or custom design unique boat? Custom ANYTHING is something that, by definition, is going to be VERY expensive. How much do you think the custom motorbikes on American Chopper cost? Think they cost 15 to 30 K like a standard Harley? How about 50 to 150 K instead! Can you shell out as much for a bike (or a tank) as most people do for a house? No? Gee, no surprise!

      Delete
    3. The reason they're always selling to rich people is that only the rich can afford large, intricate, complex tanks like the kind they make at ATM. If they wanted to cater to the common person, they would make regular fish tanks, cause normal people won't spend excess money on anything more than a regular, small, rectangular, plain fish tank. And the reason they don't seem to put "tlc" into the tanks is that they have a short time to do build some crazy tanks and get them installed. And plus, we only see about 40 minutes out of a few weeks of work, so how much "tlc" do you expect to see?

      Delete
    4. They do make regular tanks. Go to their website..... Smh

    5. People saying they use tap water is wrong they use nutri ocean water that's from the Pacific with live bacteria and they use a pump and a hose plus dose the tank with bacteria plus they add cycled media in the sump. They also remove some of the fish after filming. I've started tons of new marine tanks including large sps tanks and it's not hard to quickly cycle a tank if you know what your doing

    3. Yes they do get paid, anywhere from $25k to $40k per episode, now that the show took off & the shows a hit. Check out "celebrity net worth" or just Google how much do "Tanked star's get paid.
      I too wonder about the construction quality of the tanks. I wish they would show more actual tank construction than the bull crap antics of the two brothers-in-law. Do those two really run the business or does the father run it?

  10. I've had many salt, freshwater, and even brackish tanks and decided to watch, but they spend more time playing juvenile pranks and creating fake drama than actually doing something that would be interesting. Yes, the tank designs are creative, but they aren't imparting any information that would help someone learn about a "normal" tank...just showing off things only people with tons of money could afford and putting fish in the tanks that only advanced aquarists would attempt to keep alive. I won't be watching again.

  12. They don't build tanks, they build death trap/concentration camps where fish go to die. I build ecosystems for a living, reef tanks. I have seen their tanks in person and the owners can never keep fish alive for long. They always always die from lateral line or something else. No live rock, no biological filtration, the acrylic gets all scratched up; its really sad, horrible, disgusting and almost enraging. We have been asked several times to go fix their system they set up for someone here and it is going to be a daunting task. It's also taken a while to get to such a huge job because we are too busy building and maintaining everything from nano's to 800 gallon reef tanks (real functioning ecosystems). Sorry to say, but fish from the ocean just cannot handle such staggering amounts of neglect. Ask anyone, ANYONE who has had one of their tanks, save the ones who actually have live rock and refugiums and a decent amount of flow throughout the tank, how long they are able to get any of their fish to live. They just build these death traps and then you're on your own apparently. But hey, it makes a lot of profit and looks good on tv right??

    1. This is the first comment that tells the reality of there tanks .I have been keeping reef tanks for over 20 years and to see the amount of errors in there systems makes me sick its like they brake every common rule . From amount of live rock per gal of water to amount of water flow ,and everything in between. Setting up saltwater fish tank takes time you must cycle the tank before introducing fish and you can not drop 40+ fish at once it is insanity. Either they don't know what there doing or don't care. :-\

    2. Or it's this cool little thing all reality shows do called manipulative editing. The show is fake as most reality TV is -HOWEVER- as anything describing Manipulative editing can tell you they compress long time lines and switch up events in the timeline for that matter to produce the most drama. You aren't in the actual room when they do it. For all you know the aren't dropping 40+ fish at once, and you have no idea how long the water has been cycling before they shoot those scenes.

    5. You forgot your list of tanks you've seen ;) I noticed you changed from plural suggestion to only one specific tank near you...so, which tanks? Inquiring minds want to know :) I mean, I too, as an amateur aquarist can point out gazillions of incorrect practices, but I do actually have enough sense to know that I am watching TV with, as previously mentioned, manipulative and creative editing, and that the world is full of enough crazies who see this and get their panties all in a wad and spout out untrue, factless, angry, negative accusations without attempting to know the full story...so, I just take it for exactly what it is, entertainment. I'm sorry, but if I call a local company to install an aquarium for me, I'm pretty much on my own after that! They won't come babysit. I'm almost positive the people who pay big bucks for these tanks can afford to pay an expert to care for them if they cant. I, on the other hand, must do it myself. Since small time aquarium companies that cater to us poor aquarists simply don't baby sit us even if they are right down the road, Nevermind across the country. But ok. You do you then! ;)

The problem with your arguments as that you are giving facts about a reef tank which is in and of itself a full biological eco system. Funny thing is out of the 30 + episodes they have never built anything more than a fish only tank which is a completely different setup. It uses mechanical filtration and not the same natural biological that you would use in a reef.

      Ask anyone who has ever worked in a fish store how many successful tanks they sell. Most people have no idea what goes into keeping an aquarium, which is where your neglect comes in. You can not hold the cashier at the pet store responsible for the neglect of the consumer. They use high end mechanical filtration systems. Yes those actually still take work after they are installed and most will not put that work in... you know what happens if the consumwr fails to keep the maintenance up, the fish die.

      For you to try and throw your credentials around about being too busy to fix their mistakes, just sounds like fluff to make yourself feel better. And yes after the install you are on your own... you are buying the aquarium and installation, not a maintenance plan.

      I could take some more time to actually destroy every argume t you had, but you werent even brave enough to put your name... so not worth my time

  14. Tanked, a show where animals go to die! I am so angry about this show and the stupidity/inhumanity and animal cruelty of these men! And all in the name of profit and a little bit of fame. It's enraging!

    This sums it up pretty well, adding to my above rant.

  15. We should wright aninal planet. Maybe call cnn or fox and have them do a story on how bad they treat these beautiful fish. You would think Animal Planet would be the last to allow this, but I would be wrong. I have been in reef tank hobby for 3 years and I would have known after the first month not to do the things that they do. People in this hobby should boycott this show and animal planet! I love my fish and corals like a pet dog, and would be pissed if they were TANKED to death by Animal Planet.

    1. Thats the issue.
      Put these fish back in the oceans where they truly belong.
      If you dont have a minium of about $5000.00 dollars you aint going to get a nice aquarium.
      Someone needs to do a show on former customers before TANKED lets see what you hear then...
      Nothing about haters here.
      What about former employees and why they left. Get the real story

  24. I accidentally landed on this page after trying to see the cost of having these guys come to my pizzeria in New York and build a tank . Then I started reading and for the first time decided to comment on some of the things I read. I just have to say how sad it is that people blog about how bad these guys tanks are. But as a business owner myself , I see it's not only in the pizza business , but in all business's . This is what I got from reading all of these negative comments. 1.mike " this is the best pizza I ever had" 2. I go to the other pizzeria . Mikes pie stinks . Point here number 2 has never ate at my store and if he did I'm sure he would bring in a coupon or have a complaint if I baked him a golden pizza ! So how do you have the right to blog about these two guys who are enjoying there lives , are great family men and are pretty f.....n hilarious if you never spent a dime in there place! My suggestion go sit In front of your cloudy broken down fish tanks and order pizza elsewhere! Brett and wayde .... Keep building tanks and depositing checks in your bank account ! They can eat dominoes and cash their checks in their local check cashing store living week to week ! You guys are hilarious !

  29. KAI don't understand why people are getting so mad at the comments that are trying to inform people that what they see on the show is not the way a tank should be set up. I'm pretty sure the guys on the show know that what is shown on T.V. Is not even close to how a tank should be set up. We only see a fraction of the time they spend on setting up a tank, and I'm sure that they have to follow a script. I've had my reef tank set up for a little over 7 years now and have set up numerous tanks for people and trust me when I say that every animal in your tank would live a week or two at most if you set up a tank the way they do on the show. I'm not saying these guys don't know what they are doing, I just think they really need to give a warning in the beginning of the show to advise people that there is a lot more to setting up a tank then what they see on the show and have a a list of the proper steps that should be taken on their website and tell people to read it and learn as much as they can before attempting to set up a reef tank. I personally think they make some amazing tanks, but I've had a good number of customers who's tank I had to fix because they saw the show and decided they wanted a tank and set it up based on what they saw on the show.i don't think they're intentionally being careless, but they do need to realize people are going to watch the show and assume that what they see is how its done. I understand that this show is meant for entertainment but a show can be entertaining and educational at the same time. Again, I don't think they are bad guys I just don't think they realize that they are unintentionally giving people the wrong idea about how to set up a tank. So if anyone from ATM reads this, having a show like this means it is your responsibility to educate as we'll as entertain or at least explain at the end of each episode that there are a lot of steps to setting up a tank that are not shown on tv. Again I do think they make some amazing tanks and I truly hope that what is shown isn't their actual way of setting up a tank, cycling a tank and acclimating fish.

  39. Water doesn't contain enough bacteria to cycle a tank, or to keep it cycled. Bacteria in a bottle is not always alive, nor a substitute for cycling a tank. The show is edited, ok-but when they show final product in a tank that has clearly not aged a week let along 3 which is the minimum time to do a fishiness cycle-then you know you have a tank set up for disaster. Live rock and sand still needs time to cycle and establish itself before you fully stock a tank with species of fish that should not be kept together, but look really cool in a tank. If you are in fish then you know the golden rule is patience-for everything. Rushing a setup leads to problems-usually death for the fish.

The stuff on the show is a fraction of the work they do. There's maybe 6 or 8 people on the show. They dont show the dozens and of dozens of people doing the real work on a massive scale. And whoever said that this should be illegal is a retard. The fish will grow to the size of their environment and if size does become an issue they can move the fish to a larger environment. The baby bottle tank did not have red tailed sharks, they are red tail shark MINOWS. You can get them at any pet store and the size of the tank on the show is fine.

  45. I Absolutely Love The Show! My Wife, who is an Aqua Marine Biologist Loves it Soo Much, she wanted a Tank built by ATM in Our House! N as any husband would say n do, I said OK, and made the call. We have a 250 gal Salt Water Tank w/ 65 Fish straight from the Ocean! ATM built it, and Installed it in Our Home. Just like someone commented on earlier, this is a TV Show n they don't show Everything on TV. They installed it, ran into a few problems w/ the plumbing but was fixed pretty easily, added the sand n all the accessories n Filled it up. They let it run for 72 hrs before Adding a Single Fish. We've had a few problems, but they were of our own making, a few Fish have since Died, but 2 yrs after installing. So where some of you all say that ATM does a horrible job..Don't Comment on Something if You Don't know from Personal Experience!! But it is a Typical American Response, to Agree w/ Somebody else's statement w/o knowing about it. Somebody asked about Prices n such, Our 250 gal Tank w/ Everything cost $28,000, Installed in Our Wall n All.. The Price is for the Tank n We also paid for 6 hotel rooms for 5 days. By Choice though. So for Tank build n install n the Fish, it was $21,000

  56. I had a 20 gallon freshwater tank. It took a ton of time to maintain it. I can imagine how much maintenance goes in a 5000 gallon salt water tank. Perhaps those tanks that didn't work didn't maintain it enough. Because big tanks are like temperamental children, and you can't blame ATM for careless maintenance. Also they mention on the show that the fish are acclimated on every install, most time they spend 48 hours or more on an install.. Most of that time is acclimation and cycling. Editing does amazing things, and at home amateurs should always do super research before setting up any tank. Anything less is just careless.

How the hell did they go from talking about tanks to sexual preference? Didnt you learn that the top 3 topics you dont discuss are politics,religion,and sexual preference? Everybody thinks their view is right and you waste time arguing with an idiot who is trying to convince you they are right. You cant win,its like arguing with a drunk. There were only about 6 folks that had intelligent comments,the rest were internet trolls hiding behind the word anonymous. They are anonymous because they are spineless morons too unimportant to give their name. When you make comments about a real business research and speak from facts not opinions.The show is edited and shot in segments and all the acclimating,water temperarures and all other logistics are done in advance overtime (have a relative that works on set of a reality show).You cant deny that they crank out some dope ass tanks. I can remember some of my favorites,the popcorn tank for the popcorn store,the black spade for the tattoo shop,the jukebox,pinball machine,refrigerator tank,the drum set tank,2 Chain's Atlanta skyline tank and I wish I could get Jimmy Butler's boom box tank. WOW! This place has been in business since 1990 so obviously they were successful before the show. If they were killing fish and other animals PETA and other protestors wouldve got their asses long ago. Why blame them because they parlayed that into a reality show that made them so popular they now give tours,sell shirts,take pictures,sign autographs and countless other things? What business man or woman would turn down that success? I think professionally they have set themselves,staff and their family up for a promising future. Dont hate congratulate. Keep making your money. Those of you with all this time on your hands to give unsolicited, stupid, ignorant, unproven comments get a life and if you hate the show so much how come you got so much to say about it?

  63. Anonymous, if you stopped to think about it you would see that it most definitely is a choice. You can choose who you are attracted to because if you couldn't, then how do you explain falling in and out of love with people. Just as you can love someone one day, and realise the next day you are no longer attracted to that person, it is a choice you make. Everything we do in life is a choice, including who we are attracted to. You make the choice who you sleep with. Either you will choose to honor the way God intended relationships to be, or you will choose to dishonor it with your own lustful desires. We were created in God's image. That's our DNA. God designed marriage to be between a man and a women. Those who CHOOSE to ignore that fact, are choosing a life that will never know the beauty and true intimacy of a relationship designed by our Creator. Those who choose the lgbtq lifestyle will never know love the way God intended it to be, and that's a real shame. God's way, is the only way. I just thought that someone needed to let you in on the truth, instead of all the mainstream lies that are going around saying that choosing the lgbtq lifestyle is considered acceptable behavior. It most definitely is NOT considered acceptable in God's eyes, which are the only ones that matter. Please believe that this message comes from a place of wanting you to know the truth, and not from a place of hate. There is absolutely no hate from me except that of sin. I've been taught to love the sinner and hate the sin. I just want people to be informed of the truth instead of all the lies. God's word is 100 percent truth. God says it's wrong, therefore it's wrong. Plain and simple. God said it, so I believe it.

  68. Ok peeps, from experience, I worked in a casino they built a tank for. Was a cluster from the start. One problem after another. Tank wasn't the size ordered,sharks didn't have the room they needed to swim in, puffer kept biting the stingrays tails off til they died. Sharks, thousand's of dollars spent on them, kept dying almost as fast as we got them. The tank keep having one issue after another, the main one was all the leaks which meant that it was not ready for the scheduled "reveal". Finally 3 months later they did get it up and running. And is still having issues. The business had to threaten a suit against them to get them back to fix it. That's just some of the things I remember. So yes as with all businesses they have problems, but if they had as many as some of the ones mentioned they would be out of business.

  69. Everyone just needs to calm down. The article is what it is. The comment from the ATM staffer who actually responded is what it is. They actually do not offer animal cruelty. You need to stop assuming and do your own research on the fish. The tanks are beautiful. I love watching the show. I personally could not afford one of the tanks but it would certainly be a dream come true. Wade and Brett seem like great guys. I follow them on all media areas. They love animals of all kinds and they do their research before putting tanks together. For one episode they can do 100 of hours of recordings and they have to put together what they think would be good for the show.
    People on here just need to chill and let them do their thing and you guys keep doing your things! Minus the whining!

  70. Damn are you 10 years old or a stupid adult? Who cares if you've Known him for years. Money usually changes people for the worse and anyone who knows can clearly see they're doing things that will harm fish. You're comment is useless. Congratulations.

  71. I'm freaking rolling.TANKED rocks and all you haters obviously full of envy and full of non sense have no clue about fish or tanks. These guys make mistakes on building the tanks and installing them, just like I do in construction. Doesn't mean I can't build a REALLY nice house that last forever. I've tried my own technic that worked and didn't work. Tanked says if you dream it we can build it. They never said it'd be perfect. They still 9 times out of 10 succeed. So find something better to do then tear down hard working people. Piss off you wankers.

  73. WhatYouSea sells coral frags on the internet for people with saltwater aquariums. A coral frag is a small piece of live coral that a person can add to their tank,and grow out. The niche should be blogs related to saltwater aquariums, and coral propagation and sales. Let me know if you need more information.

    if you want more just look here "cheap coral"

  74. Only thing I don't like is the 2 women who try to get as much tv time as they can. They are the worst for the show. They talk over each other mock each other and their twerkey accent is awful. Keep them where they belong at home or in the office. Get some hot women on there not those 2 bombs.
