Following the antics of two brothers-in-law as they run the largest aquarium manufacturing company in the nation, Tanked dunks viewers into the high-decibel, family-owned business of Acrylic Tank Manufacturing (ATM). Led by business partners, best friends and constant rivals Wayde King and Brett Raymer, this 13,000 square foot facility, located in Las Vegas, produces some of the most outrageous, larger-than-life and one-of-a-kind tanks for some of the most striking fish and clients around.

Sexylocher Masterful Movie
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
jwassdesign Caught about 10 minutes of this show and can smell garbage right away. It's so fake and contrived. These people aren't really the most convincing actors. It all just seems so fake! I love fish a lot and this just doesn't seem right. How is this a show? I could have my own show at this point.
itpereira These guys are AQUARIUM builders, maybe that is why they don't seem to give a damn about the fish and what is becoming of them after they deliver the tank! Some of the tanks are just weird and in bad taste, but that is not entirely their fault - they do what people pay them to do. I don't watch the show anymore, I just feel very, very sorry for the poor fish. Maybe they could just build their stupid tanks and leave the fish alone, or put some plastic, battery-operated Japanese fish inside. As for being funny... well, no accounting for taste and for what people think is funny. To me they are just clueless, especially the bald guy. He seems to think of himself as the king of the world. Bald guy, believe me, you're not.
waid2525 (This contains a Spoiler regarding the current state of certain tanks built for the show and where they are now) This is a typical reality show where real people are expected to create a false reality to make for good viewing and ratings. The reality of this show is far from how it appears in this series. Please do not go out and buy a tank after watching this show, they skip steps and fail to talk about proper procedure, care, maintenance and the whole nine yards. Granted talking about proper Ph, calcium reactors, waiting for water to cycle and time consuming fish acclimation wouldn't make for great viewing but the truth is, it is necessary and not depicted properly here. They always seem to use the same materials, acrylic panels and sealant but always then have drama about not being able to build a tank or not knowing if it will work? Obviously they are creating drama for the camera. They do some very dangerous things and give a false sense of how to start a tank. They have been filmed using tap water from a casino bathroom to fill a tank and ice machine ice to cool it down, water is not properly cycled or tested, fish are rapidly stocked and not acclimated which has lead to off camera die offs. They do not discuss proper mixtures or equipment, they go for bling and wow factor and mix incompatible species and display unsustainable tanks. I am not making this up. There was an off camera incident after they improperly stocked a tank at a restaurant on Coney Island that lead to one Shark becoming disoriented and killing itself, another Shark became aggressive and killed 3 Lookdown fish a very expansive and avoidable disaster. You can look that up online. The Gumball Tank built for Caesars in the first season which included a custom cooling device failed, over heated and the fish died, the tank was removed and is no longer there. The Houdini tank also now only supports gold fish. The Jukebox and Phone booth tanks both failed and were sold online. My point being that the tanks displayed for this show are not a good example and they provide a complete lack of information or demonstration of responsible tank stocking and care. Thumbs down.
C S Basically this show is about two New Yorkers who moved to Vegas and make tanks for clients. Their names are Brett and Wayde, and they have problems they have to overcome while making these tanks. Overall I always find this show funny, as the characters play pranks and like to have fun with each other; yet there's a lot to learn about how these things are made. The show has gone through scrutiny as some fish have died in the tanks they've made, yet if you listen to what they say, and how they make these tanks the problems with these tanks are more of problems that occur within who maintains the tanks. So if you are told that the people in the show making the tanks are ripping people off, it's not true. Overall I highly recommend watching it.
