Everyone has an opinion. There is always someone who is not thrilled and we don't know how much is exaggerated for the show. I will watch just like I watch Pawn Stars.

Thats the same guy that put a aquarium in a truck on monster garage. although I think they used it as a dunk tank and put goldfish in it

I think it will be a good show. One thing I saw from the trailer is that it looks like some of the livestock are being put into tanks that are much too small for their adult size. Biggest concern here is that some people will assume that it is an acceptable practice. I'll still watch it, it looks like the guys do some nice custom work.

I noticed that too as well along with them playing with a puffer that was blown up

Somewhat bittersweet, as a URS member was/is involved with a similar show called "Tanks" in the works that hasn't [yet] panned out.

This show is certainly getting mixed views based on the previews, but I personally think whether good/bad, it sheds light on our niche industry. I for one am looking forward to it!

PS- The owner chimed in on another site re. the puffer, claiming that they removed it from a tank that it blew up in, which is why it was outside of the water.

Looks pretty freaken cool. I'm pumped about seeing the different types of large tanks that are created. I do hope someone in production though is watching out for the proper care of the animals. Think of it this way, we all want the best for the fish. But if that was the case with all animals we would have never built zoos.
