This latest season has been really annoying. They have been only catering to celebrities which is just stupid, considering now they are just being treated as a status symbol. And sure Tanked may have not always been the best show to really show off the hobby, but at least seeing normal people and businesses get cool tanks was nice. Now it is just stupid.

If you google how well those tanks do, it's pretty sad. A lot of the livestock dies very quickly.

 

[jrpark22000]

Yeah for at least two reasons. Tank owners who think saltwater fish are cool and no one telling them how hard it is and people selling tanks to suit people's wildest dreams vs based on the actual requirement of the livestock.

Sorry, Rant over. Back you your regulary scheduled programming...

We have talked to some of those people. They literally put the fish into the tanks without acclimating them just like the show depicts. I used to assume they just didn't show that part.

They show them aclimating them in a garbage can and say they acclimating them ive seen some tanks on ebay they made lol. I havent acclimated a fish in yrs thats not what killing em its dropping a boat load of fish in a brand new tank all at once thats killing the dam fish i must amit i do watch the show i find those idiots pretty funny id never have them make me anything guess i just enjoy anything reef related no matter how dumb it is lol. Oh i do find it funny that after the first season when all the forums bashed them and said they were fish killers that now during every build they point out the huge uv sterilizer they install to keep there fish healthy lol thats a joke plus most there builds they cram every kind of tang and angel they can it them and most tanks although alot of gallons there foot print usually small and no places to hide im sure thats part the the issue . Also seen them call a king angel a friendly fish lol sorry rant over and your right they suck dam fish killers

Long read, but goes to show why so many message boards give them grief, just as the article states.

one thing that bothered me aside from the non acclimation process is they dont ever focus on real coral and real setups even fish tank king has very few episodes like that
