Tanked: The Official Companion
Ebook
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
Co-owners of Las Vegas’s Acrylic Tank Manufacturing
(ATM) and stars of the Animal Planet hit show Tanked, rowdy
brothers-in-law Wayde King and Brett Ryamer build some of the most
enormous, awe-inspiring aquariums for top celebrities, luxury
hotels and casinos, Fortune 500 businesses, and millionaire
homeowners across the country, taking on tanks ranging from 50
gallons to 50,000. Jackass producer Jeffery Tremaine
commissioned a two-ton salt-water tank for his man cave--and
hijinks of course ensued. The guys kept their gloves on when the
president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship ordered the
ultimate “Aquagon” for UFC headquarters. Then Wayde and Brett tried
to beat the clock when Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade asked them to
create a pop-up tank featuring his new Sting Ray sneaker at the
unveiling party during NBA All-Star weekend. In the newest
episodes, the guys bring their clients’ wildest visions to life
with: a Cleopatra sarcophagus tank with fish from the Red Sea for
an archeology-themed room at a boutique hotel; a retro rocket-ship
aquarium for the headquarters of Rocket Fizz Soda Pop and Candy
Shop with candy-colored fish and fizzing soda bottles; a giant lava
lamp tank that changes colors, glows in the dark, and features
jellyfish; a smokin’ hot aquarium to honor Fairleigh Dickson
University’s Devils with a lifelike fire element; and a
slot-machine tank for a wedding chapel in Las Vegas. Tanked: The
Book features detailed, in-depth profiles of ATM’s top builds,
the inside story of how they climbed to the top of the
shark-infested world of custom aquariums, fascinating profiles of
the cast, never-before-told behind-the-scenes stories direct from
the set, celebrity testimonials, and fun sidebars like “fish facts”
and “tank tips” so everyone can get tanked at home.
