Im waiting. The wife and i actually enjoyed watching this together.

[davidtcb1]

We did too. Too much produced drama, but I enjoyed the tanks.

[belxavier]

Ya the drama was entirely too scripted but the tanks are amazing. Kinda strange how they don't really seem to know how to create a good mix of fish though. The tanks are top notch but I don't think they know enough about the fish.

[signde]

I couldn't take it I dropped the first season.

I am addicted to "through the wormhole" and survival shows. Tanked got old after the third show. I willl catch reruns I am sure.

[tradewatertropical]

The show is OK !!! I watched several of them, but no one can tell me that they didn't have all kinds of trouble with the chemistery of the tanks going nuts. I would almost bet that half of the fish died within a few days and the tanks went from wow to yuk in a big way !!!!

[davidtcb1]

Well, I think there's more going on than meets the eye in terms of the way they acclimate the fish, etc. After all, they do squeeze a 10 hour installation into about 90 seconds. I don't think they'd have clientele coming out their ears if they were famous for killing a thousand dollars worth of fish every time they stocked a tank. Not saying those two guys are the brightest bulbs in the lamp, but a lot of that is put on for TV. And remember, they have a huge staff that works there that you never see on the show. I think they have their bases covered more than it would appear.

[kyangelsncorys]

i agree with you David, i think they know what their doing its alot of stuff done behind the scenes that we don`t see. after all its TV and they have to fit it all in a the aloted time for the show.

[davidtcb1]

Yes, and like I said before, if they focused on all the stuff "we" are interested in, the show would probably be cancelled due to the boredom of the general viewing public. Therefore, the created drama.

[tradewatertropical]

True, True, I guess if you think about it really theres no telling how long it actually takes for them to get all this set up, but they do just make it look too easy. My favorite one so far has been the shark tank in the lawyers office. But the gangster tank was really awsome too !!!

I think the little boy's ship tank was my favorite just because of the emotion of it. Good stuff. All the tanks have been pretty cool. I thought the beer keg one was lame though lol. Africans in with fake coral pieces?

[rick]

i can't take it for very long!

[tradewatertropical]

The ship tank was preaty cool and I hope the little boy did well with his surgery. The beer kegs was a total bomb !! The only good part of it was the real beer coming from the tap !! The church tank was preaty cool, could you imagine a seam spliting during service ?? Drown everybody in the church. I do wish they would do a little more of some fresh water tanks. Of course most freshwater people are into africans, I would like to see them do a real muscle tank with Jaguars or Helos or Pikes or something with a bite. My main interest is like the Pit Bulls of the Aquarium World !!! I love to walk up to a tank and a big male or even sometimes a female with an attitude will front up to you at the glass kind of like saying Go ahead and make my day Punk and stick your finger in here and we will see who is the toughest !!!
Of course I am preaty well in a world all to myself, not too many people care for the bad boys of the aquatic world !! I have just got too much time on my hands and deffinately spend too much time down in the dungen with the fish. Plus with my health issues I can't seem to get anything done anyhow. I can't even get my fish room completed, i have several thousand dollars of equiptment just sitting waiting to be put to use. Alot of it I can't do by myself and in my area getting help is about like flapping my arms and hoping to fly. I have been tempted several times to post everything on line and find me something else to do. Does anyone know anyone who wants to buy a large fish room complete with pit bulls and all !!! I am serious, if someone would make me a reasonable offer, it would be gone !!!
