Its just entertainment for a nontechie audience....almost all tanks are fowlr with fake corals. That telephone booth tanks was on ebay a few months later. Who would fo in to clean such a thing.

Of course some of the things they did I don't agree with, but for entertainment value it was ok. Some of the tank designs were cool.

I actually got to sit and chat with Brett at MACNA as well as the supplier they buy all their fish from and they go through a lot to pre-prepare the livestock and the water for the show. They said they got a lot of haters from the aquarium side of things, so much so that they were asking the producers to show more of what the background preparation was during the episode so that people could see what was involved.
They not only build tanks but do tank maintenance so I doubt that letting everything die afterwards would be in their best interests.

+1.....you dont get to be the largest tank manufacturing company in the world by being a bunch of hacks that kill fish......the show is edited in a way that makes the show entertaining, not educational.......season 2 is supposed to get a little more into the technical side of things....

thats all good and all but there wasone episode that they filledthe tank right off the tap but it was a hot water tap so they had the casino bring ice to cool the water down so the fish wouldnt die when put in. that in itself said to me that they where mixing the salt in the tank and dumping fish in... they may have the fish prepeared for such a thing but. it still seems wrong to me. aparently these guys installed a 600g cylinder tank here in regina the member;s tank is on sask reef i can find a pic possibly

Im looking forward to the new season, I enjoy it. Take everything with a grain of salt, but enjoy the fact that we have a show we can turn on with our common interest displayed.... I dont see any other salt water aquarium shows out there....

it wasn't the instant tanks or plastic corals that got me, it was the annoying characters and their interactions. If I was to try the series again, would have to be with the volume off.
