After doing a little research,  I found out a few of their tanks had issues.  I knew the one on the strip in outdoor Vegas would never last.  Heard the fish made it four days before dying due to excessive heat.  I would never stock my cichlid tanks like they do.  Way to large of fish for the dimensions on a lot of their builds. And too overcrowded.

I think one thing they never take into consideration when they build these odd tanks is tank maintenance. Did you guys see the Drum set episode last year where they turned a set of drums into tanks? I would bet that just trying to do maintenance/water changes on those drum tanks was an all day affair for that music shop. I wonder if they still have that set up or if they got rid of it after seeing how next to impossible maintenance/WC's were on those.

I thought on a lot of their builds.... "how the hell do they keep that clean and vacuum the bottom?"

Crazy stuff. Hey at least it wasn't at 4am like mine was ( I still have a sense of humor about my issues thankfully ;D)

Seeing that cylinder tank leaking like that reminded me of that one 2 years ago at that casino that sprung a leak just like that. Only the other one was done by the other shows guys (Fish Tank Kings) http://reefbuilders.com/2012/09/05/miami-aquarium-leak/
