On this special episode, Wayde and Brett show some of the most outrageous tanks ever built with some unseen footage. When a client asks for any object to become a tank, if it's a drum or a telephone box, Brett & Wayde must make it happen, as their motto is 'If you can dream it, We can build it'.

However, portraying aquariums as eye-popping wonders requiring no understanding or patience on the part of the consumer is just not responsible.
Sorry for the rant.
As an aquarium professional, the hardest thing for me to reconcile is my own values versus the clients’ perception of the aquarium as a piece of “kinetic art”.
It won't be pretty.
I saw one ep with a functional aquarium drum set. And then they pick weird combinations of fish for looks only - tossing in whole schools of solitary fish while at other times putting only one schooling fish in there. This show is clearly staged or acted, this cannot be argued.
It was what they did NOT appear to do. They are obviously not interactive pets, nor are they often viewed as companions.
Vast knowledge is a prerequisite if the animal is to have a relatively good chance of surpassing 5 years of age, particularly with marine fish. Every client loves their tank, but also do ATM have one favorite tank of their own. to educate the client prior to selling them fish, coral etc..you reference season 1which was 3years ago I have seen vast improvement in the information these guys relay to the public.
Because of theses guys there will be many kids aspiring to be marine biologists and conservationists because o them. Some species can't even survive in large aquariums. Meanwhile, an overhead bed boat tank, custom themed after a well-known children's book, brightens the spirits of a five-year-old boy with many surgeries ahead of him. Tanked is an American reality television series that airs on Animal Planet and premiered in August 2011. Two-time MLB World Series champion Johnny Damon and his wife, expecting a child, want the ATM crew to help reveal the gender of their baby at a party by building two different tanks.
Voted up.
LOUSY JOB !!!! I really miss 'Emergency Vets'. In Perdido Key, FL the guys build a Pirate Ship tank. They are skipping over a lot of important info to get to the tank building, the tank reveal, and the planned shenanigans that a lot of these shows feel they need to shove in (like Pawn Stars). Brett and Wayde recall their most memorable tank-building experiences.
This is exactly why utmost care must be taken to stock an aquarium appropriately.
A skateboard ramp tank has Wayde & Brett grinding their gears to find a solution to keep the acrylic from scratching; The ATM team builds a surprise octopus tank for Wayde's birthday; and Vegas weather is threatening a meltdown on an outdoor gumball tank. Most sharks actually depend on particular swimming patterns to breath efficiently.
Species bred in captivity are not common.
[1] Brett's sister Heather, married to Wayde, is the company's accountant, and Heather and Brett's father Irwin Raymer (also known as The General) is the office manager.[2].
I haven't really watched a lot of Animal Planet since they started airing all those Animal Cops shows 24/7.
have you ever been to an aquatic convention with all hobbyist's?They have set ups in all of their booths filled with corals fish etc. Wayde and Brett build a tank for comedian, Wayde and Brett meet NBA Houston Rockets Basketball player, The guys build two tanks.
How do they do it with low mortality rate?
It's not rocket science.
Also, Morgan's baby gets a tank. I can’t know to what extent, if any, that these builders attempt to persuade their clients to shy away from difficult but often desirable species.
Is this is what they're going for?
They can become stressed (often fatally) if their environment does not meet these needs.
The first thing I saw was one of them taking a puffer fish OUT of the water and letting it puff up with AIR.
Back in Vegas, a store's request for a coffin tank brings the scare tactics in everyone. Your email address will not be published.
Meanwhile, Wayde's wife, Heather, is persuaded to walk among sharks; and the Acrylic Tank Manufacturing team works on a phone-booth aquarium for a homesick New York family.
What was not addressed in the article is where the fish came from. Because the people on the show seem to be CLUELESS about what they're doing!
Wayde and Brett visit some construction builders at a luxury condo complex, and build a tank made in a wave shape.
I've never watched this program, but you make me feel sad for the animals.
