Ep 7. Panama City Beach Tank

In the twelfth season of Animal Planet's popular reality show Tanked, the hosts Wayde King and Brett Raymer take on yet another exciting project. In this episode, named Panama City Beach Tank, the duo is headed to one of the most popular tourist destinations of Florida: Panama City Beach.

As usual, the episode begins with Wayde and Brett discussing the project in the comfort of their office. They are approached by a client who wants them to build a massive, custom aquarium in his vacation home in Panama City Beach. The client, a businessman named Jerome, wants the aquarium to be the centerpiece of his living room that he can enjoy while relaxing.

Wayde and Brett take on the challenge and visit Jerome's property in Panama City Beach. The site is a beautiful oceanfront property, and the duo is excited to work on the project. Jerome takes them around the house, explaining his vision for the aquarium and how he wants it to be the focal point of the room.

After taking measurements and discussing the details with Jerome, Wayde and Brett return to their office to start designing the aquarium. They want the aquarium to showcase the marine life of the Gulf of Mexico and the tropical fish that are found in the region. They decide to create a 360-degree view of the aquarium so that it can be seen from all angles.

Once the design is finalized, the team gets to work on building the tank. They start with the steel frame and then move on to the acrylic panels that form the walls of the aquarium. The aquarium is so massive that it requires a crane to lift the panels in place.

While the tank is being constructed, the team also works on the filtration system and lighting. They want to ensure that the marine life in the tank is healthy and thriving. The filtration system is state-of-the-art, and the lighting is designed to mimic the natural habitat of the fish.

Once the tank is completed, the team begins the process of stocking it with marine life. They begin by adding sand to the bottom of the tank, followed by rocks and coral. Then they add the fish, which include grouper, lionfish, and tangs, among other species. The team also adds a few sea turtles to the tank, which Jerome is particularly excited about.

The final step is to add the finishing touches to the aquarium. The team adds artificial plants and decor to make the tank look like a natural reef. They also install a feeding system that allows Jerome to feed the fish with just a push of a button.

With the tank completed, Wayde and Brett invite Jerome to see it for the first time. The tank is everything that Jerome had envisioned, and he is thrilled with the final product. He is amazed by the size and the beauty of the tank and can't wait to show it off to his friends and family.

In conclusion, the Panama City Beach Tank episode of Tanked is yet another exciting addition to the show's long list of successful projects. The team's dedication to creating a stunning and healthy aquarium is commendable, and their hard work pays off in the end. Wayde and Brett's enthusiasm for their work is infectious, and it's impossible not to be impressed by the jaw-dropping aquarium they create.
