Tanked

[GraphicGr8s]

Seems as though Tanked has finished filming another episode in Tampa. They must love the Tampons.

They've done either 3 or 4 in this area.

I've never watched it.......

Good, don't. They are good tank builders but they are HORRIBLE at stocking fish. They put a PANGIUS SHARK IN A 6 GALLON!!!! Just because the little boy wanted fish that looked like sharks.

I know....they mislead a lot of folks about tank stocking, etc....

I watched a couple of shows. I am not a fan.

I like the tanks them selves and I respect their tank building but they are TERRIBLE at stocking fish. If I ever got them to make a tank for me, I would make sure they knew NOT to stock it. Just build it and go away.

You've got to understand how they film and why. If you take the wine bottle tank episode for instance when the owner walks in the mostly stay away from the inside of the tank and closeups. Then afterwards they do the tight shots. In many episodes they don't actually add fish for a few days after the "final" shoot. They actually do acclimate the fish. Also the tanks are purposely overstocked so they can get the "money" shots. The owner signs a contract to rehome the extra livestock. As far as I know here in the Tampa area all the tanks that they have built are maintained by professional maintenance companies.
That wine bottle tank lost most of its fish because the owner got cocky. He has other salt tanks as does one of his employees. He didn't rehome the fish.
They also have a pro on site for five days after filming to keep tabs on the tank.

Thing to remember is not all the scenes we see were shot in the order we see them and they are heavily edited for time.

And I found out yesterday a buddy of mine was contacted by A&E for him to do a pilot. Ya'll might see me on A&E.

That's all likely true....but 'Joe Blow' new hobbyist only sees smoke and mirrors, and the end product and they think it's all that easy.....the show just gives a false impression how it really needs to be done...

 I tried to watch it a couple times,STUPID ass ideas for tanks,between that and the kooky cast i started getting a  stomach ache so i had to turn it off.Next

[ilroost]

I wish they would do more freshwater tanks

I got a bad taste in my mouth when they set a tank up that could be used as a skateboard ramp. Fish were in the tank and guys skate boarded up the ramp, flipped the board around in a trick move and everyone was happy and impressed.....except for the fish I'm sure.

I thought you never watched it.

It's cookie cutter "reality". A project comes in. There's a mini crisis. It's solved. Major crisis. Solved. Reveal. Every damn reality show follows the same stupid footprint. They all suck not just tanked.
