Title: Tanked on Animal Planet
Post by: JeffroM on August 21, 2011, 01:26:38 AM
So Animal Planet has a new series called Tanked.  Its kind of like American Choopers for fish tanks.  Its okay...  Watch it if you have nothing better to do.

I'd like to have that car tank with a pair of Dovii in it.

I enjoyed it. The two owners are fun to watch together.

How would you like to work on that phone booth tank? I thought my 30" tall tank was bad.

I found this show last week.  I set the DVR to record it. 


That "L" shaped tank was sweet with the two flat screens

I just watched the last one on my DVR. (keg tank one)

Looks like these guys don't know their freshwater- I wouldn't be putting those bigger Malawians in a tank like that.

They do a lot of things on that show that I wouldn't.  Like instantly fully stocking a tank.  I don't care if they are using seasoned filters, you don't stock new tanks that heavily.

They must be doing something right otherwise they wouldn't still be in business. But they have to have someone that knows fish because they do maintaince maybe that person is boring so they are not on the show

I have been watching this show and at first I was a little disapointed but now i'm kind of looking forward to the next one.  Its nice to see a show based around aquariums.

There was a pet trade show in Vegas last week that I bailed on.  It sucks too because I guess the people from Tanked where hit of the show.

The trade show I'm going to this weekend is touting that Brett Raymer will be attending.  I just hope Agnes won't be there as I might go into full stalking mode as that girl is HOT.

Chicago for a pet supplies trade show held by a company called HH Backer.  It should be interesting, fun, and mind numbingly boring all at the same time.

I met 'The General' today.  Nice / cool guy.  He said the show has been picked up for 22 more episodes that start filming in Nov. and will start airing in April.  Apparently next month one of the episodes to be filmed will be Tanksgiving where they give out 100 aquariums in Central Park (NY, NY) to kids.
